Expect fickle and changeable weather. Bring both dry weather and rain clothing, including a cap or hat, gloves, cold-weather long-sleeve t-shirt (preferably wool), hiking trousers as well as rain trousers and a rain jacket. 

You will need a tent and a sleeping bag for a true hiking experience. For reheating food, you will need LPG or alcohol/gasoline.  

To find your way around, you are required to know how to read maps (maps will be provided by Organizer) and use a compass

For your safety, all participants must be packing a first aid kit

We believe our participants love and cherish nature and all its beauties. We know you wouldn’t litter, so please bring a waste bag.  Littering on and around trails, checkpoints, and mountain lodges are forbidden. Litterers will be disqualified and banned from applying to any future HIGHLANDER events

We are a dog-friendly event, however, there are some things to be considered. Dogs are welcome but must stay on the leash at all times. Track, heath and terrain can be very demanding for dogs. Please check public transport providers about allowing dogs on busses and trains. 

We recommend the Pegasus trail for dogs. If you go on the Hercules route, you can start the first stage (the most difficult for dogs) in Bohinjska Bistrica with Pegasus. Notify the organizer about this decision by email at least 4 days before the event.
