February 2024 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of the priest, alpinist and humanist Valentin Stanič.
On this anniversary, Stanič’s year is being prepared.
The traditional hike in the footsteps of Valentin Stanič will take place on April 6, 2024. It is organized by the mountain association named after him. On Friday, April 5, 2024, an exhibition will be opened in the Rik Debenjak Gallery, which will present Stanič’s work in the field of mountaineering and alpinism.
Since the Kanal ob Soča municipality celebrates its municipal holiday on the day of the death of Valentin Stanič on April 29, this year’s central municipal celebration will focus on this anniversary.
