Mountains can require you to exert yourself tremendously physically and mentally, so – if you are unprepared – it can put you at greater risk of injury and affect your decision-making abilities.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you don’t hire a guide, you need to make your own route plan. Make sure you spend enough time <strong>researching and using reliable sources.</strong> The most useful and, above all, reliable maps for navigation are still the classic maps, whether they are 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 scale. Do not rely solely on panoramic or tourist maps, as they lack crucial details. Also take some time to <strong>familiarise yourself with map reading and navigation techniques</strong>. Learn how to <strong>interpret and read the symbols, legends and markings on maps</strong> so that you can follow the map and the route you have mapped out accurately.</p> <p> </p> <p>On Slovenian maps, a red line indicates an easy route, a red dotted line a moderately difficult route and a red dotted line a difficult route <strong>requiring special equipment.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Forget Google Maps!</strong> and opt for specialised <strong>navigation apps like OutdoorActive</strong>, designed for outdoor activities. These apps provide functions to calculate distance, altitude and estimated walking time. Be sure to download the necessary maps and GPX routes before you leave so that they will <strong>work offline</strong>, as connectivity in the mountains can be limited.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Always have a back-up plan</strong> in case of unexpected situations or if the chosen route becomes too difficult. Your research should also include identifying alternative routes or shorter routes that you can take.</p> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </section><section class="sc-general : sc-video"> <div class="container"> <div class="row : center-xs"> <div class="col-md-10 : col-xs-12 : text-left"> <div class="video"> <div class="video__play-button : hide-on-play" role="button"> <span class="sr-only"></span> <i class="icon : icon-play"></i> </div> <div class="video__iframe"> <div class="video__iframe-container"></div> </div> <div class="video__poster : hide-on-play" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP5TH0J9k7g&list=PLuktN2mwKmc6nss0gnADIZiCdiUCebeS-&index=7"> <div class="image-aspect : image-aspect--16-9"> <div class="image-aspect__bg" data-responsive="responsive-bg-image"> <img class="responsive-bg-img lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://slovenia-outdoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/4.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> </div> <div class="video__content : hide-on-play"> <div class="video__title : text--bold"> <h3><p>What to pack?</p> </h3> </div> <div class="video__duration"> <h3></h3> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.youtube.com/player_api?ver=4.9.10"></script><section class="sc-general : sc-blog-detail"> <div class="container"> <div class="row : center-xs"> <div class="col-md-8 : col-sm-10 : col-xs-12 : text-left"> <article class="detail-page"> <div class="detail-page__content"> <div class="body-text : body-text--20"> <h2>WEATHER</h2> <p>In the mountain world, weather <strong>conditions change rapidly</strong>.

You need to tread carefully and watch where you step. Avoid being too close to animals, even if they look harmless or friendly, as wild animals can be unpredictable and dangerous. Respecting their space ensures your safety and the well-being of wildlife. <strong>Remember, it’s not worth endangering yourself or upsetting the delicate balance of nature to capture the perfect photo for Instagram.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Another important aspect is to<strong> register your presence on the peaks and in the hut logbooks.</strong> This is valuable information for mountain rescuers in case of accidents and helps them to find you faster. It is a simple step that can make a big difference to your safety.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Assess the situation regularly.</strong></p> <p><strong>Check your own energy levels and listen to your body.</strong> If your legs hurt or you are too tired, you should rest and take necessary breaks and maybe even consider shortening your hike. Over-exertion can lead to exhaustion and increase the risk of accidents.</p> <p><strong>Pay attention to weather conditions.</strong> Look out for any signs of changing weather patterns, such as clouds or sudden drops in temperature. Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so be prepared for unexpected changes.</p> <p><strong>Adjust your plan accordingly</strong>. If the weather deteriorates or the route becomes too difficult, be flexible and be prepared to change or return if necessary. It is important to put your safety first.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>In the event of an accident</strong>, remain calm and assess the situation and the needs of those involved. Prioritise your own safety and make sure you protect yourself and others from further risks. <strong>Use a first aid kit and emergency equipment</strong> such as a blanket or bivvy sack to provide the necessary care and comfort. If you have the necessary skills, provide first aid to the best of your ability. <strong>Call 112 immediately</strong>. Give essential information, i.e. your name, details of the accident (what happened, where, when), the number of people injured and the type of help you need. Cooperate with the rescuers and follow their instructions.</p> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </section><section class="sc-general : sc-video"> <div class="container"> <div class="row : center-xs"> <div class="col-md-10 : col-xs-12 : text-left"> <div class="video"> <div class="video__play-button : hide-on-play" role="button"> <span class="sr-only"></span> <i class="icon : icon-play"></i> </div> <div class="video__iframe"> <div class="video__iframe-container"></div> </div> <div class="video__poster : hide-on-play" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PJbstvMbrM&list=PLuktN2mwKmc6nss0gnADIZiCdiUCebeS-&index=11"> <div class="image-aspect : image-aspect--16-9"> <div class="image-aspect__bg" data-responsive="responsive-bg-image"> <img class="responsive-bg-img lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://slovenia-outdoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/1.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> </div> <div class="video__content : hide-on-play"> <div class="video__title : text--bold"> <h3><p>How to inform the mountain rescue team?</p> </h3> </div> <div class="video__duration"> <h3></h3> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.youtube.com/player_api?ver=4.9.10"></script><section class="sc-general : sc-newsletter : newsletter : newsletter-with-photo" data-validation="newsletter"> <div class="wrapper" style="background-image: url(https://slovenia-outdoor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/bottom.png);"> <div class="container"> <div class="row : middle-xs : center-xs"> <div class="col-md-6 : col-sm-8 : col-xs-12"> <form class="newsletter__content-area"> <div class="brush-tag"> <p>Favourite News</p> </div> <div class="heading-display : heading-display-2"> <h2>Thank you for reading, let's keep in touch!</h2> </div> <div class="body-text"> <p>To receive even more green and exciting content, subscribe to our news and be up to date with the latest outdoor experiences.</p> </div> <div class="newsletter-form"> <input class="text-field" type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="E-Mail*" required data-validate="email"> <input type="hidden" name="lang" data-validate="lang" value="en"> <input type="hidden" name="nonce" data-validate="nonce" value="e9004348a0"> <button class="newsletter-form__submit : arrow : arrow--right : arrow--white" type="submit" data-validate="submit" data-success-title="You have successfully signed up for newsletter." data-success-subtitle="First Slovenia Outdoor news will be in your mailbox soon."> <span class="sr-only"></span> </button> <div class="error-message"> <p>Email already exists</p> </div> </div> <div class="checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" name="term-box" id="with_term-id" required data-validate="checkbox"> <label for="with_term-id"> <span class="checkbox__text">I wish to receive the »Slovenia Outdoor news« newsletter about the new and innovative offerings of Slovenian outdoor tourism. <a href='javascript:;' data-lesstext='Less' data-moretext='More' class='more-link'>More</a></span> <span class="checkbox__text--more"><p>I wish to receive the interesting “Slovenia Outdoor news” via e-mail, which the Slovenia Outdoor Association sends out frequently to those who are interested in the new and innovative offerings of Slovenian outdoor tourism.
