13th Walk from Šteberk to Karlovica

12. - 13. 9. 2026
Slovenia

In Cerknica, we will walk together in support of women affected by gynaecological cancers, with two routes available. Walking together in purple will send a visible message of solidarity and raise awareness about these diseases. The walk is part of our Purple September campaign, with this year’s slogan “Take Care of Your Essential Parts” (“Poskrbi za svoje nepogrešljive kose”). It is one of 22 activities across Slovenia bringing people together, supporting women affected by these cancers and helping break stigma.
