About this audio guide
This guide to Golovec, the wooded hill on the southeast edge of Ljubljana, is about what lies under the trails rather than on them. It follows the motorway tunnel dug through the hill in the late nineteen-nineties, the soft, water-bearing rock the engineers had to cut through, and the steady growth of heavy truck traffic beneath the forest. Best heard on one of the hill's paths, among the pines and the passing runners.
