SUMMARY:Talk: In the Footsteps of Wild Patagonia
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, a father and son set out on an unforgettable hiking adventure through the diverse\, breathtaking\, and wild landscapes of Patagonia. Carrying backpacks weighing over 25 kg each\, filled with gear and food\, they spent three months trekking through primeval Araucaria forests\, past majestic volcanoes\, vast glaciers\, and steep snow-covered peaks. They explored the most beautiful sections of the Greater Patagonian Trail\, a network of trails and off-track routes stretching from the outskirts of Santiago in Chile to the southernmost parts of Patagonia. This experience\, full of challenges and discoveries\, brought them closer to unspoiled nature\, the lives of local people\, and\, ultimately\, to each other. \nDuring the talk\, you will learn more about their adventure\, the local ecosystems and culture\, as well as numerous valuable life lessons they discovered along the way. \nThe talk is in the Slovenian language. \nYou are warmly invited. \nThursday\, 15 January 2026\, at 6.00 pm\, Trdina Reading Room \nEvent website

SUMMARY:2nd Mountain Hour: Cammino Celeste – The Celestial Path
DESCRIPTION:The Novo mesto Hiking Association invites you to the 2nd Mountain Hour of 2026\, which will take place on Thursday\, 22 January 2026\, at 6.00 pm in the hall of OŠ Bršljin. \nAt this year’s second Mountain Hour\, Andreja Grahek will take the audience on a journey along the Celestial Path (Cammino Celeste) in Italy\, using words and images. This nearly 230 km long trail runs from Gorizia to Monte Santo di Lussari (Sv. Višarje). Along the way\, hikers must overcome more than 6\,000 metres of elevation gain\, and due to trail conditions it is only feasible to walk it from June to September. The path begins in an urban environment but later becomes quite remote\, passing through sparsely populated areas. A large part of the trail runs through regions still inhabited by Slovenes. Andreja Grahek hiked the path with friends in September 2024. \nThe presentation will be in the Slovenian language. \nYou are warmly invited. \nEvent website
