Planinsko polje

V nedeljo, preden sva obiskala volišče v Logatcu, sva čisto spontano naredila malo daljši ovinek in se zapeljala po Planinskem polju, ki naju vedno znova začara.

Logatec leži na kraškem področju in Planinsko polje, ki je razdeljeno med logaško, postojnsko in cerkniško občino, je edinstven kraški pojav. Občudujemo ga lahko prekritega s cvetočimi travniki in vijugasto Unico ali pa kot jezero, odvisno od letnega časa.

Res, da smo pri nas navajeni na zeleno barvo, ki nas povsod obdaja, pa vseeno sem vesela, da tega ne jemljem kot samoumevno. In kadarkoli se potikava naokoli, Miro navdušeno ponovi znameniti verz Lorce: »Verde que te quiero verde«.

Before visiting Logatec on Sunday we spontaneously took a turn and made a bit longer way across Planinsko polje, which never ceases to fascinate us.

A big part of Slovenia’s territory is karst. Simplified it means we have a lot of underworld, in fact just recently, last month, they found and registered 10.000th cave. If you take into account that Slovenia measures only about 20.000 square kilometres that’s a big number.

Some of the most famous caves are Postojnska jama and Škocjanske jame.

Logatec also lies on karst area, so there you can find a lot of caves and other karst phenomena. One of them is Planinsko polje, mentioned above. It’s a karst-field by Planina village, situated south-east of Logatec and it is divided between Logatec, Postojna and Cerknica municipalities.

On Planinsko polje there are sinkholes, another karst phenomenon. Depending on a season the field changes from a lake to meadows with a Unica river swirling through with all the picturesque stages in-between.

It is true that our country is all green, but I’m so glad that I don’t take this for granted. And whenever we are wandering around Miro enthusiastically repeats the famous Lorca’s verse: »Verde que te quiero verde«.
