V National Geographicu so objavili članek izpod peresa Duncana Craiga, ki sta ga Slovenia Outdoor in Slovenska turistična organizacija v Sloveniji gostili letos poleti.
Članek z naslovom Could this be Europe's best hut-to-hut hiking trail? (Ali je to najlepša pohodniška avantura od koče do koče?), ki ga je na podlagi lastne izkušnje – Slovenska turistična organizacija in Slovenia Outdoor sta ga v Sloveniji gostili na začetku tega poletja – napisal britanski novinar Duncan Craig, govori o pohodniških poteh po Karavankah.
Da ga izkušnja ni pustila ravnodušnega, je moč razbrati iz obsežnega članka, ki kar ne more prehvaliti doživetja. Poudari, da je Slovenija izjemno prijazna do pohodnikov, saj se poleg tega, da vsi govorijo angleško, ponaša z zavidljivim številom dobro označenih pohodniških poti:
"Everything about Slovenia is painless for the traveller: from the efficiency and near-ubiquity of English to the compact scale. And that seems to extend to its topography, too. There are more than 450 mountains over 6,500ft yet none breach 10,000ft. All are linked by clearly defined, brightly waymarked trails. And crowds — particularly in this range — are as rare as a Slovene who doesn’t own a pair of hiking boots. For a hobby hiker blessed with reasonable fitness and perhaps some trekking poles for the occasional steep descent, it really doesn’t get much better."
