Cestovateľský festival Cestou necestou v Bratislave

We cordially invite you to 3 days full of inspiration with 50 travel presentations and discussions at DK Ružinov.

How can you walk 8,900 km without ripping off all your socks?
What will you do when you are robbed of everything in Afghanistan - including illusions?
Is it possible to travel with children so that the whole neighborhood is not quarreled on the plane?

You will find the answers to these (and many other crazy questions) at the Cestou travel festival they will not travel.

What awaits you at the festival?

5 tips organizer
- Ivka Smolková is the first Slovak woman to have the Triple Crown - she crossed the Pacific Ridge, the Continental Divide Trail and extended the Appalachian Trail and went from Canada to Florida. 8900 km in 315 days.
- Šebastián Bok returns after a year with new experiences - last time he surprised with an amazing lecture and now he experienced unprecedented things...
- Ondrej and Zuzana Bricht travel in a truck in Asia for a year and a half. We met in India for two days and I am very much looking forward to their conversation.
- I am rarely surprised by anything, but I really didn't know about the big waterfalls in Angola. And that's why I'm going to watch a lecture by Roland Vízner about Angola and Namibia
- And the last one? This is very difficult. Unbreakable Ukraine will definitely be strong, Dodo Antala will show unknown places in the Georgian mountains, tropical Guyana will also be interesting. Be sure to also visit at least one presentation by Matej Peluha - his presentations are always a decoration of the festival.
