Abstracts

EN

The Czech section of the Slovene Alpine Club was founded in Prague in 1897. It was a socially exclusive organisation with approximately 600 members. The section's activities spread from the Savinja Alps in the East (around the city of Jezersko) to the Julian Alps in the West (around Kranjska Gora). The organization built two chalets and a number of mountain-tracks, popularized the Slovene Alps in the Bohemian Kingdom, its members explored especially the Julian Alps and published their discoveries in the section's Alpine Bulletin (Alpsky vestnik), other serials as well as in books. They also contributed to a better knowledge of the Slovene culture among the Czech society by organizing numerous cultural events and lectures in which they presented the works of Slovene artists and familiarized their audience with the character of the Slovene countryside. The Czech section was abolished after World War I. New borders were drawn between Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, making the Slovene Alps harder to reach, while the High Tatras in Slovakia became more accessible.
