Slobodan Hadzhi-Iliev (Danko) is an experienced mountaineer, mountain rescuer and sport climber with a strong passion for physical challenge and sports as for the wondrous, uplifting power of mountains and nature.

He just can’t stay put in the city and is constantly on a lifelong quest for new, exciting places and sports which can be enjoyed in the wild and beautiful outdoor scenery. During his quest, he found and fell deeply in love with the endless, undiscovered treasuries of beauty, fun and spirit at the mountains of his home country.

After having found so much, he simply felt compelled to share it all with people who have the same passion for mountains, adventure and adrenaline. So in 2009 he founded PLANINA.
