For quite some years the authors carried the climbing guide Slovenske stene
(from which this book, Popular Climbing Routes in Slovenia, has been prepared)
within their hearts and minds. But young alpinists wanted to have a survey of
the finest routes and mountain walls throughout Slovenia, and so the guidebook
came into being in 1987, followed by a second edition.

Foreign alpinists have often pointed out how good it would be to translate this book and thus present
the best routes to climbers from abroad who wish to spend some time exploring
the Slovene Alps. The choice of routes in the original book was governed by
three criteria: aesthetic (the most important), historical and regional, and
many alpinists were involved in the selection. Sadly, the author Tine Mihelič
died in the Slovene mountains in 2004 and it is in his memory that this
selection of the best known climbing routes in Slovenia has been prepared in
collaboration with the two translators.
