Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Ljubljana
Ljubljana is a small capital with a big sense of itself, and it sits in a basin ringed by hills, with a castle on a steep wooded rise at the centre. The old town huddles beneath it along the green Ljubljanica River, which bends through the middle, and cafe terraces cover the banks. Dragons are the city's symbol, appearing on the Dragon Bridge, a green-copper and concrete span of 1901, and on the coat of arms, and they are said to derive from the legend of Jason and the Argonauts, who supposedly founded the city after killing a dragon in the marsh. The tale is a charming fiction. In reality, the Romans founded Emona here, and the Habsburgs later ran the town as the capital of Carniola.
