Kite society KAP Jasa was formed in 2017 as a kite aerial photography endeavour. Now it is a full-fledged kite non-profit NGO, the largest (and thus far the only) in Slovenia.

We make and fly kites, we participate at and organise kite festivals, we do kite workshops for kids and adults, and do all kinds of kite science.

KAP Jasa was recognised by Ministry of Culture of Slovenia as a NGO acting in public interest.

Had a fantastic Saturday in Zagreb with our kite friends Zmajoljupci - Croatian Kite Association ... An immensely pleasant, warm, windy spring kite day :-)

A Pleasant Spring Day in Zagreb, Croatia - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

When Zmajoljupci call, we ride. The summons arrived on Friday: Žuža and Žare, ever faithful disciples of those lying meteorologists, chose to believe the forecast – and by Saturday morning we were already in the car, reasonably well stocked with kites, pointing ourselves towards the Croatian capital. The day turned out splendidly. Spring at her ... Read more

Ljubljana is a city of lawyers - so it's no surprise that the earliest known mention of the town and the castle above it involves a certain Rudolphus Advocatus.

Click and let the kite take you back to the High Middle Ages, to the beginnings of Ljubljana castle and the triple town below it.

A Castle in the Clouds (of History) - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

This is from Nomina Defunctorum, the Book of the Dead Benefactors who donated property to the Chapter of Aquileia (now in the Diocesan Archive of Udine): Nomina defunctorum is a simple list of the dates on which this or that benefactor died (so their souls could be duly prayed for on the correct day), and ...

Thursday's long read: how we tried to colonize Ljubljana Marshes, why we kinda failed, and how we are now protecting this strange, wounded, beautiful ecosystem.

Rewilding a Tamed Wilderness: People vs. Ljubljana Marshes - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

There was nothing. There was no ‘there’ there. A hundred and fifty square kilometers of void. To be fair, only one species of animal thought that; millions of others were quite happily enjoying this purported “void,” thank you very much. And even the detractors once lived smack in the middle of it, back when it ... Read more

The First Relaxed Kite Flying of the Year!? - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

No way! Yes, way … This year has been decidedly odd (and the weather has, for the most part, shown a marked aversion to kites). It’s March already, and we have managed exactly one (1) kite aerial photography session and this single, blissfully relaxed kite-flying outing – our grand total for the year so far. ... Read more

The 'how to survive January in Ljubljana' ends with an amazing visit of Mr. Saud Turner, Jeem Kite Team, Ahmedabad - and with the incredible first Trans-Continental Indo-European International Night Kite Festival Stožice 2026! :-P

A Festival For One - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

The aromatic smoke of the last beedee rises and swirls, the first warm sunbeams playing with it like mischievous kittens. The dark, cold January is well behind us: the first flowers are just about to bloom, the birds are singing their hearts out … We try to look forward, to smell the spring on a ... Read more

If you are not invited to a kite festival, you *make* a kite festival.

A weekend of fun with friends from Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary, and Slovenia - and a kite festival in Izola!

“I don’t know how to January!”– Marczin So … when it became clear that after so many years we’d have to spend the great holiday of Uttarayan not in India, but in Slovenia – and not just Uttarayan, the whole bloody January! – we promptly went through all six stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, ... Read more

Two stories in one: how did beeches of Europe survive the Ice Age, and how did the serfs outwit the lord so hard that the almost-ruined castle had to be offered as the first prize of the national lottery!

A Castle in the Woods - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

Beeches be trippin’ … Few people realize that among plants, beeches are the ultimate party animals. They’re cool, they drink a lot (of course), and they’re dressed to impress – those striking silver trunks and vibrant green leaves that sway seductively in the gentle breeze … When conditions are warm and wet, beeches truly thrive; ...

Nature needed just a little help from two renaturation projects, and it's back in action: the restoration of the meanders of Stržen river and its impact on Lake Cerknica, Slovenia:

Phoenix of the Water: Stržen and Lake Cerknica - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

The Gods of Winds can be generous around the Old year / New year transition, so we are usually able to head down to Cerknica and take some more kite aerial photos of this exceptional place. Because it’s never enough. And it’s never the same. So we honoured the tradition – and the first published ... Read more
