"Before we start walking and talking about Vlachs and Vlach magic, try not to look down on their traditions and customs with scorn. The centuries-old traditions that you will hear about today are the cornerstone of their value system and the way they view the world. Also, keep in mind that they are also Christians and cherish many of our customs. And no, that doesn't stop them from believing in some things unique to their culture." With these words, the guide Rade (by the way, half-Serbian, half-Vlach) introduced himself to us before we set foot on the paths where the human foot rarely treads today. Where, if you surrender to nature, you can still feel the mystique that surrounds the name of this people. A small but well-chosen group of enthusiastic people, of various nationalities (in addition to the Serbs there were Italians, Americans and Spaniards), of different ages (from the younger generations, up to one grandmother who showed that age is just a number) in the company of the dog Freud (who, like the real Freud, eagerly looked at everything visible and invisible to us), and among whom I was, shaved in eastern Serbia, in the vicinity of Majdanpek. Before us was a long path - 18 kilometers where there were uphills, downhills, mysterious caves, overgrowth (which is the definition of a rock vault), dried up riverbeds, but also those rivers that had to be crossed. To make the trail even better, Rada's guide made sure that he told us about the legends and customs of the Vlachs that marked some places. The history of a nation is not dictated only by cause and effect relationships, but also by the geography of a place. Thus, Rade explains to us that the Vlachs were mainly miners (since the area itself is rich in mineral resources) and herders, while black and white cows, just like the ones we see on the wrappers of milk chocolates, look at us confused from the edge. The road takes us past the Felješana rainforest, which has the interesting fact that it was there first

Activities in nature require good and functional equipment and comfort. If you are going for full-day hiking or hiking or water activities, it is best to have quick drying material on you so that you can move more easily and feel more comfortable. 1) Fast-drying synthetic material is a better cotton solution For multi-day activities in nature, synthetic material is a much better solution than cotton, because the cotton quickly dips, becomes difficult and unpleasant to wear, and slowly drys. In order for the body heat to be properly regulated when walking, it is best to have the garment consisting of several thinner parts that can be undressed and dressed as needed. However, there should not be too many layers that would not be uncomfortable when moving. Winds and moisture protect windbows made of lightweight synthetic materials. In recent years, most of the jackets and trousers of so-called softshell have been used. It is a technical fabric that allows the clothes to breathe well, protect against cold, wind and precipitation. It allows for pleasant movement and proper breathing of the body. As a rule, softshell clothes are worn as the top layer, except in demanding weather conditions, where it is worn as the middle layer. Where can you find synthetic sweatshirts? You can find synthetic t-shirts in sports shops, if you do not find yourself, look for help from sellers to instruct you for those shoe-made shirts. In our online shop you can also find synthetic cool & dry polyester shirts that we can deliver to you by mail. T-shirts are light and comfortable to wear. Sweat does not remain on the skin, which allows for proper thermoregulation of the body. In addition to synthetic t-shirts made of polyester, we recommend quality t-shirts made of merino wool for outdoor activities. Natural material that best drains moisture, enables proper breathing of the skin, with which there is no unpleasant smell. Because of its fineness, it is very comfortable and pleasant to the skin. 2) To protect yourself from excessive
