Saturday, 13. in June, a hike along the connecting river will take place. The Jubilee, tenth hike between Kamnik and Domzale, or vice versa, takes place every year under the sign of integration and crossing borders, and this year also promises a variety of events and many activities on the entire route. Participation is free of charge, and the organizers – the team of the Blue news magazine in cooperation with the Kamnik Institute for tourism and sport and the Institute for sport and Recreation Domzale – are also preparing some novelties and surprises.
This year's hike along the Kamnik Bistrica River will take place from Kershmancev Park in Kamnik to Martina Krpana Park in Domzale (or vice versa). At both starting and ending points, tired but satisfied hikers will be greeted by a diverse range of food and drinks, music and entertainment will also be provided. There will also be official T – shirts of the March-this time with a new motif.
At the posts of the 14-kilometer route, participants will collect stamps, and at the same time, socializing and a fun program will be provided. Local associations, institutions, organizations and companies will provide refreshments, refreshments, prize games and useful information. Hikers can only walk part of the route, which is suitable for all ages and levels of preparedness (including children). Those who walk the entire route and collect all the Stamps will be rewarded with symbolic gifts.
As every year before, a free shuttle bus will be organized to the starting point (no intermediate stations). The novelty is a reduced train ticket - on this day, participants will be subject to a 50% discount on any route in Slovenia. An interesting accompanying event for visitors with dogs is also being prepared.
Traditionally, in the morning, the Kamnik and Domzale municipal delegations will meet at the wish bridge under the Homec Hill, which will attach a lock with the designation of the hike and the initials of both institutions to the wish bridge, symbolically committing to long-term cooperation in the field of recreational and tourist integration.
"The hike along the connecting river will symbolically connect Kamnik and Domzale for the tenth time. We are pleased that hikers from all over Slovenia have been taking part in the hike in addition to Kamnik people, Domzalians and visitors from neighboring municipalities in recent years. Thus, in a good atmosphere, we spread the meaning of integration that goes beyond everyday divisions. A connected community does not arise by itself – it is built by relationships between people," says only Skvarcha, project manager at IR IMAGE, owner and founder of the Blue news magazine, about the upcoming hike along the connecting river.
All current information about the hike along the connecting river is available on the website www.pohodobreki.si or FB profile @hike by the river.

V soboto, 13. junija, bo potekal Pohod ob reki, ki povezuje. Jubilejni, deseti pohod med Kamnikom in Domžalami oziroma obratno vsako leto poteka v znamenju povezovanja in preseganja meja ter tudi letos obljublja pestro dogajanje in številne dejavnosti na celotni trasi. Udeležba je brezplačna, organizatorji – ekipa revije Modre novice v sodelovanju z Zavodom za turizem in šport Kamnik ter Zavodom za šport in rekreacijo Domžale – pa pripravljajo tudi nekaj novosti in presenečenj.
Letošnji pohod ob reki Kamniški Bistrici bo potekal od Keršmančevega parka v Kamniku do Parka Martina Krpana v Domžalah (oziroma obratno). Na obeh začetnih oziroma končnih točkah bo utrujene, a zadovoljne pohodnike pričakala raznolika ponudba hrane in pijače, poskrbljeno bo tudi za glasbo in zabavo. Na voljo bodo tudi uradne majice pohoda – tokrat z novim motivom.
Na postojankah 14-kilometrske trase bodo udeleženci zbirali žige, hkrati pa bo poskrbljeno za druženje in zabaven program. Lokalna društva, zavodi, organizacije in podjetja bodo poskrbeli za osvežitev, okrepčilo, nagradne igre ter koristne informacije. Pohodniki lahko prehodijo le del poti, ki je primerna za vse starosti in stopnje pripravljenosti (tudi za otroke). Tisti, ki bodo prehodili celotno traso in zbrali vse žige, bodo nagrajeni s simboličnimi darili.
Kot vsako leto doslej bo organiziran tudi brezplačen prevoz z avtobusom na izhodiščno točko (brez vmesnih postaj). Novost je znižana vozovnica za vlak – ta dan bo za udeležence veljal 50-odstotni popust na katerokoli relacijo v Sloveniji. Pripravlja se tudi zanimivo spremljevalno dogajanje za obiskovalce s psi.
Tradicionalno se bosta dopoldne na polovici poti pri mostu želja pod Homškim hribom srečali kamniška in domžalska občinska delegacija, ki bosta na most želja pripeli ključavnico z označbo pohoda in začetnicami obeh zavodov ter se tako simbolično zavezali k dolgoročnemu sodelovanju na področju rekreativno-turističnega povezovanja.
»Pohod ob reki, ki povezuje, bo že desetič simbolično povezal Kamnik in Domžale. Veseli nas, da se pohoda poleg Kamničanov, Domžalčanov in obiskovalcev iz sosednjih občin v zadnjih letih udeležujejo pohodniki iz vse Slovenije. Tako v dobrem vzdušju širimo pomen povezovanja, ki presega vsakdanje delitve. Povezana skupnost namreč ne nastane sama od sebe – zgradijo jo odnosi med ljudmi,« o prihajajočem Pohodu ob reki, ki povezuje, pravi Samo Skvarča, vodja projekta v podjetju IR IMAGE, lastniku in ustanovitelju revije Modre novice.
Vse aktualne informacije o Pohodu ob reki, ki povezuje, so na voljo na spletni strani www.pohodobreki.si ali FB profilu @pohod ob reki.
