My name is Matej Smrtnik and I come from Bad Eisenkappel!

Bad Eisenkappel is a village in southern Austria surrounded by wonderful mountains. I work at home in our forestry business, where our main task is to fell trees and sell the timber. The company is located at 950 m above sea level, and from there you have an incredible view.

Growing up in this wonderful area surrounded by nature was fantastic. My father took me to the mountains when I was little. However, we didn't tackle more than four mountains a year. But 2 years ago I went to Mount Triglav in Slovenia, and since then I've become addicted to the mountains.

This year I managed to climb over 30 peaks! And many more are on my list!
