Slovenian mountain rescue units have already responded to 41 incidents in the mountains this month in which nine people lost their lives, which they say is cause for concern as these numbers are much higher than they should be in such a short period of time.
If the trend continues, this year’s increase in accidents will be much higher than the average of 10% recorded in recent years. Last year Slovenian mountains claimed 22 lives. A total of 630 rescue operations were carried out.
