SPECIAL EXPERIENCE
It was two or three decades ago, when my mountaineering friends and I climbed the vertical wall, as we did countless times before, and so the descent would be as short as possible, we ran along the mountain path into the valley. In between, we cut paths and scrambled over rocky screes,…

We usually like to introduce ourselves as the ones who share the sky with birds and mountains with bouncy chamois – the fearless mountain goats. Mountains have always attracted people, who wished to conquer them, to reach their tops. Steep mountain walls attracted them even more, but for…
UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS
I wonder, if there can be anything greater than flying over Lake Bled. Flying, almost inaudible, high above the lake, overlooking Bled Castle and the island with its church, as can be experienced only by birds… and now us. Few things in life are so unique, so full of energy and excitement,…
