Slavc: the long love run

Slavc is the name of a grey European wolf that has been migrating from Slovenia to Italian Alps: an incredible run of almost 2000km on rugged mountain terrain, crossing rivers and human settlements, risking his life in an adventurous journey to finally meet Giulietta, a female wolf. We are been inspired by this beautiful story of freedom, determination and instinct and we started cycling Slavc's path backwards. From the Dolomites to the Giulian Alps of Slovenia, across some of the last wild European mountain ranges.
Get in love for the adventure, be ready for the long run.
