There is a tradition that exits that every Slovenian is expected to summit Triglav (2860 metres above sea level) at least once in their lifetime. The ‘conquering’ of this summit is usually celebrated in rather the most bazaar of ways.

This cultural norm is underpinned by an inspirational active lifestyle value that most if not all Slovenian’s adhere too. It is no wonder that Slovenia boasts the most number of sport awards per person than any other country in the world!

This Tale is about our day out with other local Slovenian’s summiting their incredible mountain in the Triglav National Park, located in the Julian or Eastern Alps.

On a knife-edge.

It was another one of those incredible days on an incredible mountain…

Sojourning so far.
