The walk started from the old town of Čakovec following the road through city park and visiting the museum. The Old Town of Čakovec is the most valuable cultural and historical monument and the central memorial point in Međimurje of today. Its walls, towers, palace are the core of the contemporary Čakovec.
Furthermore, the campaign was implemented along with the projects Special Power League – sports league for children with disabilities and Hi-Ability. The basic idea of the project Special Power League is to motivate children with disabilities to actively integrate into society through sports activities. On the other hand, Hi-Ability promotes an education for autonomy, independent and inclusive life for adults with intellectual disabilities (ID), in a context still not very accessible such as hiking and eco-tourism.
