Akcija markacista na Medvednici 27.04.2024.

My dear,

U subotu 27.04.2024. sam bila na jednoj u nizu akcija markacista za uređenje naše Medvednice u organizaciji Komisije za planinarske putove Hrvatskog planinarskog saveza. Naime, neke su staze bile poprilično zapuštene, pa je HPS odlučio osigurati sredstva i organizirati masovnije akcije kako bi se postavili stupovi sa putokaznim pločama i iscrtale markacije umjesto starih i izblijedjelih na istočnoj strani Medvednice, na stazama oko Gorščice.

At the beginning of March, for two weekends, in the premises of the HPD "Željezničar" in Trnjanska, a course was organized for marking workers so that as many mountaineers as possible were "trained" to arrange mountain paths. However, having a degree is not a requirement, so if you are a lover of nature and socializing, respond to the following actions. They are planned for 11.05. and 08.06.. Whether it will take place then depends on the weather. Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to try your hand at drawing red and white circles in nature, as well as clearing hiking trails, all under the watchful eye of a marking leader.

We go slowly, along the path, almost from tree to tree, with the chirping of birds and the laughter of the participants, because anecdotes from some previous actions or hiking trips are always retold. In happy company, just relaxed.

About sixty of us gathered on Saturday. We are divided into several groups with 5 members each (4 of us and the brand manager responsible for the final appearance of each section). We "borrowed" paint, brushes, and proudly carrying our creative carriers, made with a lot of love, set off into nature. My small group marked part of trails 1 and 35. The weather was ideal. Four hours flew by. The markings are new and shiny. The roads call for some new adventures. Let me know how it was! And come hang out with us!

Love you! Ivana
