Let's go on an adventure.
Next Saturday is the Bambi climb to Rtanj, where the youngest climbers take part in the action. I'm really looking forward to going to Rtanj with my son.
We can't wait for next weekend! I've been planning for a long time to go on the Rtanj trail with my son, who also loves hiking, and we hope that the weather will be kind to us, that we'll have a team and a lot of good energy.

Everything we need to make our hike to the highest peak of Rtanj easier and more enjoyable — for both me and my child.
Like any mother, I don't want my child to struggle too much carrying a heavy, large backpack, so I will carry some of the things. Gavrilo will carry a smaller backpack, like the one in the picture, and I think this kind of backpack is very good and c...

I always choose these for a simple reason, I had the same ones and they never let me down. I wore them for 13 long years and they were phenomenal. Now I have others because these have gone into well-deserved "retirement"

As for the jacket on Rtanj, now my son will wear a windbreaker, just like this material. His skin will breathe, it will not be wintery, and it will be light to wear.

When the weather is dry and warm, in my opinion, it is best for children to climb in trainers. Rtanj is not very physically demanding, so these trainers will come into consideration.

Another must-have item without which you cannot go to the mountain, especially in summer, when the sun is strong. Protect your child's health and your own. You must have a hat.

This is a recommendation and my list of things that I always have in my backpack, and since I am going with a child, I must not forget to pack this.
Regardless of whether you are going with a child or with your team from a mountaineering company, first aid is the basis of every trip. I will also have painkillers and a thermometer to measure the temperature in my backpack.
