All legends
In life, there are no lost battles only precious experiences. To be a legend is to have ingenuity, strength and courage, and if these are combined with hard work, they will definitely bring you to the top – let it be to the top of an eight-thousander, a basketball hoop or a ski flying hill. Because this is the only way true legends and characters are built. Through Kme. Some of the legends shared their legendary thoughts with us for you. Since you have found an inspiraKon for reading their words, let them inspire you once again.

The god of horse returns to the legendary Olympus
The legend is nowadays repeatedly misused; only the rare ones would deserve it. Among them are certainly those who are born with talent and build their character with hard work. To the top. To the point where you cannot go any higher.
And such is Miroslav Cerar.

Marija and Andrej Štremfelj
A legendary sense of truth is liberating
There is an invisible red thread of fate that connects the soulmates, says the Himalayan legend. No one can destroy this connection. Someone above us is tying a thread around the ankles of the couple, whose fate he wants to interweave. Red is the colour of attraction and desire. “In our family climbing is like breathing, so without it we simply can't exist,” say in one voice the co- creators of mountaineering surpluses, the legendary couple Štremfelj.

Ljudski vrt
A legendary stadium has spoken
A cult football stadium, the home to the most successful Slovenian football club - Maribor and a fortress of the Slovenian football team that is hard to conquer has an interesting history. In 1843, Jožef Langer planted trees at its exact location and the Volksgarden Public Tree Park was born. The park was later sold to the Municipality of Maribor on condition to maintain its name. From the start, Ljudski vrt (People's garden) is intended for people.

Tomo Česen
A #legend that wrote the history of mountaineering
Alpinism is the only sport discipline in which Slovenians have had the leading edge for more than 40 years. Tomo Česen, born in Kranj in 1959, is one of those who carried Slovenian alpinism to the top, as high as no one else at that time. During his relatively short mountaineering career, he was at the top for a little while, but long enough for his actions to become the world heritage.
