In the October issue of Planinski vestnik, this month's theme takes us on treks. We went to the northern mountain arc of Albania, the Kotijske Alpe, Velebit, and around Mount Kailash in western Tibet.
We write about the long-standing mountaineering friendship between the municipalities of Radovljica and the Serbian municipality of Svilajnac, what they have all experienced and walked together. On the 60th anniversary of his death, we write about the legendary mountaineer, alpinist, patriot, and fighter for the civil rights of the Primorska people Zorko Jelinčič, after whom the hut on Črna prst has been named since 1965.
We publish an interesting article on challenges and personal growth in mountaineering and how writing can inspire, educate, and reflect the essence of the collective mountaineering spirit. Matjaž Čuk shares a story from beneath the Himalayas with us. Don't miss the excellent article on mountaineering and chronic diseases and how walking in the mountains is a natural remedy, why it is so important. In the story Na planinah ni greha! you can read about love, morals, and more.
In this issue of the Vestnik there is also a gear test - on Fjällräven rainwear.
We remember the exceptional alpinist Danica Blažina, who passed away this September.
In the Z nami na pot section, we invite you to the long-distance Alpe Adria Trail, which winds from Austria from below Veliki Klek through Italy and Slovenia back to Italy to Milje on the Adriatic Sea. This time we invite you to stages 6, 23, 25, and 26, namely from the Zacchi hut in Kranjska Gora, from Kranjska Gora to Trento, from Bovec to Drežnica, and from Drežnica to Tolmin.
Followed by the regular sections: Planinčkov kotiček (this time telling the story of the mighty chestnut), comic strip (about Josip Tičar and Tičarjev dom on Vršič), literature, mountaineering organization, and in memoriam.
We wish you pleasant reading of Planinski vestnik and
happy and safe steps on all your paths!
