Pozdrav eSloveniji in preostalemu svetu, v kolikor naletite na moj časopis.

I would like to say hello to all eSlovenia members and others from abroad who may read my newspaper right now.

Po odzivih na svoje prvo pisanje kot začetnik sem popoldne nekaj časa premleval zadevo ter skušal najti nišo, ki bi omogočila večjo branost mojemu »cajtngu«. Tako sem prišel na zame, kot tudi za celotno Slovenijo zanimivo idejo, da bi morda veljalo tako domače loge, kot tudi tujino malce »izobraziti« glede slovenskih geografskih in kulturnih danosti, za katere vem, da se marsikomu niti ne sanja, kje se določene zadeve nahajajo in kaj ponujajo. Sam se tako kot nekdo, ki mu geografija in kultura nista tuja pojma, ter nekdo, ki mu ni vseeno za domovino, s svojim »cajtngom« podajam na daljšo avanturo, ki bo Slovenijo, kot državo, ki na zemljevidu Evrope zavzema strateško lego, predstavila v upam da čim lepši luči. Vse napisano se bom potrudil spraviti tudi v spodobno angleščino, da bodo članki berljivi celotnemu eSvetu. In to iz dveh razlogov. Prvi je ta, da nas tujina malce bolj podrobno spozna (v kolikor boste pomagali z voti in shouti) ter se tako morda kdo navduši in našo prelepo domovino tudi kdaj obišče. Drugi pa je ta, da želim malce poglobiti svoje (pre)šibko znanje angleščine in ga spraviti na malce višji nivo, ker čutim, da mi bo to v bodoče še prav prišlo.

After responding to my first writing as a pioneer I tried to find a niche that would allow greater readership of my newspaper. So I got an interesting idea that I might write about Slovenian geographical and cultural characteristics, which I know that many people have no idea where the set issues are and what they offer. In that case I offer to you some additional education. As a person who is interested in geography, culture and someone who fill with his country, I wish to introduce Slovenia as a country (which on the map of Europe occupies a strategic position) in a nice overview through articles. All what should be written I will try to present in decent English which is well known language all over the world. Because of two reasons. The first is that the rest of the world citizens should learn a bit more details about Slovenia (you should help me with votes and shouts) and perhaps someone will be inspired and will try to visit our beautiful country. Second one is that I want to deepen my English skills and get them on a little higher level because I feel that I will need them in near future.

Kje se Goričko nahaja? Where is it placed?



Popotovanje začenjam na skrajnem severovzhodnem delu naše prelepe deželice. Na Goričkem. Verjetno zelo malo ljudi dejansko ve o njem kaj več kot samo ime. Tu ga bom na kratko malce predstavil.



Goričko kot samo imenujejo tudi dežela pestrosti in goric. Gorica pravijo domačini vsem tem malim hribčkom in gričkom, ki se razprostirajo čez celotno območje Goričkega in tvorijo prijetno razgiban relief. O sami geološki sestavi tal raje en bom zgubljal preveč besed, lahko menim le, da so v prsti večinoma prisotni morski sedimenti, kot so pesek, lapor in glina, tako da je zemlja po površju večinoma pusta. Sedimenti so na tem ozemlju nastajali v obdobju, ko je to območje še prekrivalo Panonsko morje kot posledica pogrezanja tal, ki se je kasneje zaradi ponovnega dviga sedimentov umaknilo in prepustilo soncu, da opravi svoje delo.



Najvišji vrh Goričkega sega do višine 418m nad morjem in ponuja lep razgled nad celotno okolico, vključno s pokrajnimi onkraj državne meje.

Samo podnebje je zmerno celinsko, zaradi manjše količine padavin pa tako prevladujejo srednje vlažni in polsuhi travniki, ki ob neposeganju človeka ponujajo pestro paleto barv. Pravtako del Goričkega prekriva gozd, ki se je z leti spreminjal. Zaradi odnašanja listja za steljo v domačih hlevih, se je pretežno listnat gozd sestavljen iz hrasta gradna, belega gabra ter bukve počasi preoblikoval v deloma borov gozd, ki pa z opustitvijo steljarjenja spet pridobiva nazaj prvotno podobo. V gozdovih je prisotno veliko divjadi, ne manjka tudi ostalih prebivalcev gozda, svoj kotiček miru pa bodo našli tudi ljubitelji nabiranja gob.



Večjih vodnih virov na Goričkem ni, je pa polno večinoma nereguliranih manjših potokov, v katerih najdemo vidre, za katere je splošno znano, da jih najdemo samo v čistih vodah. Z povečini umetno zajezitvijo so nastala tudi jezera, omembe vrednejša so Ledavsko, Bukovniško ter Hodoško jezero, katera so sčasoma postala naravni habitat za mnoge zanimive živalske vrste. Pravtako je po Goričkem tudi veliko mokrišč.



Goričko je bolj redko poseljeno, večjih naselij praktično ni, večina naselij so vasi. Najbolj znano ter tudi eno večjih naselij je naselje Grad, kjer si lahko vsak ogleda grad Grad, ki ima dvoje omembe vrednih značilnosti. Je največji Grad v Sloveniji, sestavlja pa ga 365 sob, za vsak dan v letu ena.



Skozi preteklost se je na kmetijskem področju poleg vinogradov, za katere velja, da mora vsak kmet imeti svoje vino, razvijalo tudi sadjarstvo in vrtnarstvo, s področja obrtništva pa je znano lončarstvo, tkalstvo, žganjekuha, kolarstvo, zeliščarstvo ter kovaštvo.





Goričko je z državnim odlokom postavljeno v območje Krajinskega parka Goričko.

The name Goričko comes from the word "gorice", which is what the local people call the hills which were formed long ago on the bottom of the Pannonian Sea and rose later on. People inhabited the softly shaped sandy terrain in pre-historical times and remained here. Even though the great European cities are close by, "progress" avoided Goričko and thus it has preserved the characteristic appearance of Central Europe from before the Second World War.

What not so long ago was called backwardness turned out to be an advantage. Vineyards, orchards, meadows and fields overgrown with various cultivated crops are scattered like a mosaic and are harmoniously interwoven with and complement the settlements, villages and individual farms. Together they form a unique appearance and also a unique people. Since the soil was not very fertile, the modesty and wisdom of prudent exploitation of soil, sun and rainfall were required. Humans and nature have lived here in symbiosis for centuries, and together they form a varied cultural landscape. There is still enough space for numerous animals and plants, and according to tradition, almost every farmer has at least a small vineyard where he produces "his own" wine. Even in the Middle Ages they were already famous for their fruits and orchards with tall-trunk trees, with several hundred kinds of fruits which still grow today. In some places the old rustic architecture is still preserved as well as some crafts which have otherwise already disappeared. This harmonious picture invites one to take a walk among the "gorice", along streams and across meadows, along ridges and through forests, or go for a drive over the slightly sloping hillsides. The interested visitor will be welcomed by old mills, old thatched-roofed farms, numerous Protestant and Catholic churches as well as the largest castle in Slovenia, which has as many rooms as there are days in a year.

The highest peak around here only reaches 418 meters above sea level and yet it offers a view over the Austrian Southburgenland - Nature park Raab and the Slovene Porabje in Hungary and National park Őrség - the area of the trilateral nature park, which has always been a meeting point of cultures and nations. And as anyone who comes "up here" will find out, the traditional Goričko dishes and noble Goričko wines will take care of anyone's needs for refreshment and enjoyment.
