ESC blog

Message for future esc volunteers and those who feel that way

The first month has passed and now I already know Maribor better! In the last blog I told you about Čajnica pri parku and the park. I hope that you will experience beautiful moments drinking tea and being in nature. We continue with nature. As volunteers, we had the opportunity to go on a hiking tour to Pohorje. Mariborsko Pohorje, together with Areh, is considered to be the largest winter center in Slovenia. With a wide variety of pistes – for beginers and also advanced skiers, Pohorje has especially established itself as a popular family ski resort. In winter, Mariborsko Pohorje offers more than seven kilometers of illuminated ski trails for night skiing. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, Pohorje also offers a lot of other different winter activities. We visited Pohorje in October, so we didn't have a chance to ski or anything related to winter sports. But we had an opportunity to see the wonderful nature (forest, hills and a wonderful view of Maribor). We really enjoyed it and spent a wonderful day on the mountain. We will definitely come back a couple of times before the snow, but also during the snow. Bring comfortable shoes and clothes. Get ready to climb and improve your fitness.
