I live in northern Slovenia, in the medieval town of Kamnik. This town lends its name to one of the three Alpine ranges that overlook the territory of Slovenia, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. They might not have the country’s highest peaks, but they are nevertheless imposing.
For my entire life, I have been looking at one of their most distinguishing features, the Kamnik Saddle, be it from the village where I grew up or from Ljubljana where I lived for a couple of years. This saddle became the backdrop to the story of my life.
