Vitajte na Trojmedzí

 

 

Dear friends,

We heartily welcome you to the 1st year of
the International Goral Marathon, which will take place in a beautiful,
mountainous countryside of Beskydy, with a start on a common bound of Slovak
republic, Czech republic and Poland.

If you haven´t seen that place yet, come,
you really won´t regret it, and you´ll want to come again and again.

There is a place where the air is so limpid
and fresh that it takes your breath away.

There is a place where the water is as
clear as a crystal.

There is a place where slenderly growing
spruces reach the sky creating the most beautiful spruce forest in the world.

There is a very beginning of it and streams
seem to splash happily because of having a chance to wander to the sea.

There is a place where land invites you to
explore it and where mountain peaks are within arm reach.

There is a place where only step away from
the road you can come across another world, fairy-like world. Old, far,
forgotten but still alive world, preserved with care and powerful will of the
people who live there.

Where is this place?

You could say : Far, far away behind the
mountains, behind the endless woods, behind seven rivers- and you would not be
wrong because this country truly lies behind hills and forests in the heart of The
Beskydy Region, where there are villages : Istebna, Jaworzynka and Koniakow.

This description, however, describes
perfectly the surrounding countryside on Slovak, Czech, and Polish side.

It really is a country that is unique in
the whole Europe. Mountain streams, which spring from the high mountains very
close to each other are divided into all directions to finally end their
journeys thousands of miles away from each other.

Below the top of Barania Gora you´ll find
springs of Black and White Wisla, which together create the river Wisla that
flows through Krakow and Warsaw to the Baltic Sea. Next to it you´ll find the
spring of Olša, which later as Odra flows to the Baltis Sea through the whole
area od Silesia.

Below Ochodzita there are springs of Czadeczka
and Krezelka that flows through the area of Slovakia, Váh and the Danube to the
Black Sea. And this is the country where we want to invite you.

We have prepared an event for you that is
(just as this country) unique in Europe. Routes of all mountain runs will lead
you through all of these three countries, which have a common history. Gorals
(people from the mountains) have always lived in harmony with the nature. They
settled in this beautiful country at a time when there weren´t clearly defined
boundaries yet, and they gradually found themselves divided by new borders on
the territory of three states.

Goral marathon symbolically breaks the
boundaries and connects people to feel at home here, whatever their nationality
is.
