About this audio guide
This guide to the Jakopič Promenade in Ljubljana starts at the western end of the walk, with four cast-iron hounds made in eighteen sixty-four by a Vienna sculptor famous for balancing bronze horses on two legs. It follows the rumour that grew up around a detail of their faces, and the man it was pinned on. Along the way it turns to Rihard Jakopič, the painter who spent his own money to give Slovene artists a hall at the city end of this avenue.
