Hello mountain lovers,

In my diploma thesis I'm researching environmental burdens caused by people's movement in Triglav National Park (hiking, excursionism, mountaineering, alpinism, mountain biking, driving heavy motorcycles (e.g. over Vršič), air traffic, car traffic...

I need as many photos as possible:

- dumping trash in nature
- trash dumps near mountain huts
- damage to vegetation, erosion (new paths made next to existing paths and trails)
- crowds, mass events, "partying"
- traffic (popular motorcyclist "squadrons" over Vršič)
- parking vehicles in wrong places,
- cycling, downhill and driving popular quads OUTSIDE designated paths
- damage to signs and markings
- camping, picnics, fires in prohibited areas
- low flights of helicopters, powered gliders...
- bathing in high-mountain lakes.....
- pollution of high-mountain lakes


If you've encountered any of the listed on your paths in TNP or anything that "bothered" you and captured it with photos, I heartily ask you to send me some photo proof. Besides photos I need your full name, where and when they were taken, so your copyrights can be respected.

Your opinions and experiences in this area are also welcome.

Thank you very much

JusAvgustin, please allow me to borrow your photo for use in the thesis? I'm missing ones with snowman. I'll be even happier if you send it to my email eva.noshone@gmail.com, so without portal mark. please please. cheers

Thanks to all who responded so quickly, all info is of GREAT help. Sabotin, as for boldness - yes, could almost say so - I already turned to many competent organizations and - guess what - didn't expect them to protect their interests so much. Obviously with my research I'm really poking the hornet's nest, but since I see there are still people who care, people who like me love mountain world and want to protect it, I'll gladly share findings with public. "Copy-paste" diploma is already too much, so despite all problems I'm glad I took on this topic.

Thanks again, together we'll be stronger!
