This year’s Jazz Hike – a guided hike that connects music with hiking, as well as the cultural and natural heritage of the Cerkno region – will take participants to Porezen (at 1,630m, the highest peak in the Cerkno region), where accordionist Jure Tori will greet the “jazz hikers” with a concert. Tori, an accordionist and composer, who is best known to a wider audience as a member of the folk-punk band Orlek, is also active across a wide range of genres, from film music to tango and improvisation, to chanson and pop. He has performed with bands such as Tori Tango, Tori Trio, SATORI and Flora & Paris, and collaborated with prominent musicians such as Ewald Oberleitner, Ganesh Anandan, Bogdana Herman, and the band Hiša. Porezen offers beautiful views of the surrounding hills and the Alps. At the summit stands the National Liberation Struggle (NOB) monument, and just below the peak is a hut managed by the Cerkno Alpine Association, where the concert will take place. A bus will take hikers to the starting point of the hike. The climb to the top of Porezen takes approximately 2.5 hours along an undemanding trail. Hiking shoes are required, and participants should bring food and drinks. After the concert, you will return to the starting point, where a bus will take you back to Cerkno.
