Cross the longest Slovene mountain. Descend by bike over almost vertical trail. Paraglide off the edge of the mountain.

Preči najdaljšo slovensko goro. S kolesom se spusti po skoraj vertikalni poti. S padalom se odrini z gorskega roba. Lahko pa le užiješ mir v razkošju poti in pozdraviš skoraj pozabljeno prijateljico tišino. Tržič je stičišče treh dolin in dveh voda in ko odkriješ lepote Tržiškega, bo postal še stičišče tvojih nepozabnih poti, dogodivščin in spominov. Kdaj te je kraj, od katerega nisi pričakoval veliko, tako navdušil, da o njem z veseljem pripoveduješ še danes?

Tržič (CC: slovenski, hrvatski, English)
Tržič je mesto na skrajnem severu Gorenjske. Je središče občine Tržič. Leži na sotočju Tržiške Bistrice in Mošenika ob južnem vznožju Karavank. Naselje se je že v rimskih časih nahajalo poleg Ljubelja ob poti med Virunum na Gosposvetskem polju in Emono. To naselje, takrat imenovano Forum in Lubelino (dobesedno Ljubeljski trg), je zasul plaz. Prebivalci so se umaknili nižje v dolino in na mestu sedanjega Tržiča ustanovili naselje Neumarktl. Konec 15. stoletja je cesar Friderik III. na pobudo tedanjih lastnikov Tržiča (Lovrenca Paradajzarja z gradu Neuhaus in dedičev Janeza Lamberga z gradu Gutenberg) vasi podelil trške pravice in jo tako povzdignil v trg. S tem je Tržič pridobil pravico do tedenskega sejma, kar je pozitivno vplivalo na razvoj, saj je skozi Tržič vodila glavna prometna povezava med Trstom in Avstrijo. Naslednja prelomnica je bila leta 1811, ko je Tržič prizadel velik požar. Umrlo je 75 ljudi, uničenih je bilo 150 hiš in več kot 60 delavnic. Obnova mesta po požaru je potekala zelo počasi. Izdali so poseben predpis, ki je določal obvezno namestitev kovinskih vrat in polken, ki so postale prava evropska posebnost. Klasicistično izoblikovano zaporedje pročelij ter bistvo podobe pa je glavni trg ohranil vse do danes.
Dovžanova soteska, tudi Dolžanova soteska, je soteska, ki jo je izdolbla hudourniška reka Tržiška Bistrica v stare zemeljske sklade. Reka kipi čez edinstveno slapišče velikih zaobljenih blokov belega kremenovega konglomerata. Ti veliki boki so se privalili v reko z Borove peči, ta je ime dobila po rdečem boru, ki porašča njena strma pobočja. Soteska je še posebej slikovita zaradi šestih visokih kamnitih stolpov, Kušpegarjevih turnov, kjer je urejeno plezališče. Skozi sotesko je speljana zanimiva geološka pot, gozdna učna pot Dovžanova soteska, planinska pot, razgledna pot in pot do partizanske tiskarne-tehnike. V manjšem naselju Čadovlje stoji stara Jamenšnikova hiša in paštba (sušilnica za lan) z letnico 1766, ki je primerek edinstvenega karavanškega stavbarstva z vsemi etnografskimi značilnostmi. Soteska je razglašena za naravni spomenik Slovenije in leži 3 km severno od kraja Tržič, ob cesti Tržič-Jelendol. Dovžanova soteska je bila zavarovana kot naravni spomenik zaradi edinstvenega nahajališča ostankov okamnelega življenja rastlin in živali v kamninah starega zemeljskega veka – paleozoika. Tu so bile prvič najdene in opisane številne vrste ramenonožcev in velika luknjičarka (Schwagerina carniolica). Slikovito sotesko je izoblikovala Tržiška Bistrica v konglomeratih, apnencih, peščenjakih in glinovcih. V njej je največje pregradno slapišče v kremenovem konglomeratu pri nas. Ta kamnina gradi tudi Borovo peč, ki jo porašča gozd rdečega bora. (Wikipedia)

TRŽIŠKA BISTRICA - Beautiful Slovene river
Slovenia has beautiful versatile nature and important part of it is water in many different forms.
River Tržiška Bistrica is small river coming out in Karawank Alps in Jelendol ( 1460m above the sea level). After 27 kilometres it flows into river Sava (the longest Slovene river) in the vicinity of Kranj. It is fascinating that even this short river has its own waterfall that is 6 m high.
In the past people were quite resourceful, so power of the river was used for timber transportation from the surrounding woods and even nowadays we have some of small powerplants on it.
It is named after Slovene city of Tržič- cobblers city- Tržiška Bistrica meaning Bistrica from Tržič. And second part of the name Bistrica (we have many rivers called Bistrica) etymologically derives from the old Slavic word Bystrica- it means quick running water. This torrential river is, from time to time, definitely true to its name.
In modern Slovene language word bistro means clear. The clear running water can be often admired by locals, who come to the banks of the river for refreshment in warm summer days. And we must not forget to mention very popular sport in Slovenia, namely fishing - flyfishing on Tržiška Bistrica.
