Join us for an organized hike on February 8th
We invite you to join us on February 8 for the traditional Prešeren Walk, which takes place each year in the surroundings of Vrba in the Gorenjska region in celebration of the Slovenian Cultural Day, commemorating the death of France Prešeren, Slovenia’s greatest poet.
Attending this annual hike has become a tradition for our Association. See the cultural hikes from the past years HERE.
The walk will follow a scenic route enriched with cultural and historical stops, offering an opportunity to reflect on the rich heritage of the area while spending the day together in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, inspired by Slovenian culture.

Important information:
Hiking or comfortable walking shoes are required, as part of the route includes a short uphill section with an elevation gain of approximately 40–50 meters and a duration of about 30 minutes.
