Why are you spilling so much bile? You're arguing about the registration fee and ticket. You don't realize that with the organizer Zavod Levstikova pot it's a non-profit activity, where all the money is invested back into the development of the Levstik Trail. This year it starts with Levstik's orchard to preserve old Slovenian varieties of fruit trees. There's always something new. We waste money on all sorts of stupid things, but these 10€ (6€ registration and 4€ return ticket) has become a big problem. The registration money finances the organization, magazine costs, commemorative gifts, investment in marking (signposts alone cost 30,000€), development and promotion of the countryside. It's not a profit-making event as some want to portray. Everything is invested so that the Levstik Trail is more interesting every year. Not just in November but throughout the year. So, don't mind paying the registration fee, since you know in advance where it goes. Otherwise, follow the official project pages at www.levstik.si.

And one more thing. Just marking the 345 km path with over 300 personal signs cost over 30,000 €! So read everything on www.levstik.si before some write nonsense. Of course you are invited this year on 9 November 2013, when it will be nice again among Dolenjska hills and zidanicami. Dolenjci will welcome you nicely! Also those who calmly spend dozens of euros on drinks in a few hours, but 6 € for the hiking development of these places is too much for you, although you get much more for that money!

Oh, if you don't believe my post, ask numerous hikers from Mountaineering Society Mislinja, Planika Maribor, Ljubljana Matica, Kranj, Novo mesto, Koper.......................

Otherwise most really wonderful people come and among them there are always many young people! Very nice!

All those who bitch about the entry fee. For the entry fee you got a new book, a t-shirt, for anniversary hikes awards and badges. Who do you think pays for all that? Don't look only at the number of participants, because most of you are blabbermouths who have no idea about the organization and costs of such a big event. By the way, around 4,000 hikers register, who pay the organization, security and execution costs also for you whiners who obviously come to Dolenjska just to booze.

So much about rip-off and profiteering!

Luckily, among participants there are mostly wonderful and friendly people besides you.
