In Slovenia, the first avalanche information boards have been erected in the Julian Alps. The number of visitors to the mountains in winter has grown dramatically in recent years. Many of them are quite brave and not just extreme athletes. Alpinists, hikers, snowshoers, touring skiers, freeriders go to the hills in winter, and families with small children are among them. But mountains are dangerous. Especially at a time when the hills are whitewashed and the danger of avalanches lurks on them. Too often we ignore this danger, saying that it can't happen to us anymore. Therefore, we do not know what to do if we are actually surprised by an avalanche. These boards can save your life!

At this point, Surgo only exists as a concept. The 1:10 scale model helps give a better idea of what this mountain rescuer might actually look like. It's certainly not a bad idea, and there's a good chance that Surgo will be a real life saver in the near future.
Scenes of mountain huts usually conjure up memories of beautiful mountain scenery, satisfied faces of hikers who have reached their goal, good food and, hand in hand, a pint of short beer or a mug of beer. Without overgeneralizing, we can say that many hikers, especially men, like to reach for a beer at the top. Is that smart and responsible?

The Alpine Garden was opened in Golte, which is one of the highest mountain gardens in Europe. The garden offers over 70 mountain plants for viewing, which thrive beautifully in the relentless mountain environment. A walk through the garden offers visitors, in addition to a guided tour of the mountain plants that are characteristic of our landscape, also relaxation at energy points, points for meditation and the pleasure of a wonderful view of the Savinjska valley and the surrounding peaks.

Slovenians can boast of breathtaking highlands. When the night or weather conditions surprise us during our visit, we have bivouacs at our disposal, which are praised all over the world for their modern designs. But beware, bivouacs are far from intended for multi-day vacations, but rather serve as a shelter that can also save lives.
