Dovžan Gorge, Slovenia

Tržič (German: Neumarktl) is a town and municipality in northern Slovenia, close to the Austrian border. The town is located within the historic Upper Carniola region. In the north, a road leads up to the Loibl Pass in the Karawanks mountain range, the border with the Austrian state of Carinthia.
A first settlement named Forum in Lubelino was founded on the Roman road that ran from the ancient city of Emona (present-day Ljubljana) via Loibl Pass to present-day Carinthia. After a massive landslide caused by an earthquake, the original settlement was destroyed and many people moved down the valley to establish a new village named Neumarktl in German where Tržič is now located (these events are the basis of the legend about the origin of Tržič).
The settlement in the Duchy of Carniola was granted market rights to hold weekly fairs by the Habsburg emperor Frederick III in 1492, which further promoted the development of the settlement. The great fire of 1811, which destroyed the buildings on the left bank of the Tržič Bistrica River, changed the town. Much of the architecture was reconstructed in a Classicist style. After the buildings were rebuilt, they needed to have firewalls, iron doors, and window covers, an infrequent feature in Europe. The town centre of Tržič has been protected as a cultural heritage site since 1985. Over the centuries, the city had been a German Language island.
The leather, wood, and textile industries were essential to the economy of Tržič in the past. Still, industrial activity declined after the breakup of Yugoslavia. The development of small business after this period is now an important branch of the economy. Because of its alpine setting, alpine skiing is popular in the surrounding area.
Notable person that was born or lived in Tržič is Countess Francisca von Strassoldo Grafenberg (1781-1854), wife of Austrian General Joseph Radetzky.
The Dovžan Gorge lies 3 km north of Trzic, on the Tržič-Jelendol road. The Gorge is carved by the torrential river Tržiška Bistrica into old earth foundations. It was formed in conglomerates, limestones, sandstones and clays. It has the most significant waterfall barrier in the quartz conglomerate in Slovenia.
The river statues across a unique waterfall over large and rounded blocks of white quartz conglomerate. The Gorge is especially picturesque because of the six tall stone towers, the Kušpegar Belfries, where the climbing area is arranged. The Gorge is one of the focal points of the Slovene Geological Transversal. Exciting geological trails, the forest learning trail, a mountain trail, a lookout trail and the way to the Partisan printing technique are through the Gorge.
The Palaeozoic rocks of the Dovžan Gorge and the younger, Mesozoic rocks of its wider surroundings are presented in the geological pillar according to the time sequence of their occurrence.
The Gorge is proclaimed a natural monument due to the unique location of the remains of the fossilized plants and animals in the ancient Palaeozoic rocks. Many species of rhizopods were first found and described.
