The excursion coordinators of the Ljubljana Geographical Society ensured that the excursions were varied in content and added a new dimension by bringing in experts from other, non-geographical fields: history, art history, cultural studies, architecture, economics, agriculture. The new disciplines have given the guide a broader range of expertise and additional richness of content. The contributions are roughly arranged from north-east to south-west. Some of them deal primarily with cities, with a thorough presentation of their historical development, even going back to the pre-antique and ancient periods in the case of Novo mesto and Ptuj. In the case of Lendava and Koper, the emphasis is on ethnic issues, and in the case of Koper also on architectural aspects. Nova Gorica is an example of a newly conceived garden city, while Litija and Žalec are also presented. The presentations on Haloze and the hinterland villages of Koper are examples of the development renaissance of a backward rural area.
