Canyon rescue exercise in Globoški potok
Since I am being Jack of (more or less) all trades regarding outdoor sports, I always live with the fear in the back of my mind, that I might be needing service of a search and rescue team one day. Accidents happen in the blink…
Rio Tralba and my new birthday
It is quite common that I don’t keep a promises that I do for myself. For instance after adventure week in Sierra de guara, I promissed myself that I’ll be having relaxed weekend. But I could not do it, even if my body was in…

At Friday, I like to make my way to a good beer and burger. And at the latest chat I had with Rok, while drinking beer, we were talking about what to do for the weekend and then and there, a sudden idea hits me…
A refreshing cool down in the Dolomites
I never thought of the summer heat as something pleasant in my life. I am more of a Eskimo person so to say, who rather enjoys himself in snow and doesn’t mind, if instead of wearing a swimsuit, rather wears a classic down jacket. This…
