Between 1942 and 1945 Ljubljana was surrounded by the barbed wire of Italian and later German occupiers. To commemorate this, the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship (PST) was built in the 1980s. Today,PST is a walking and recreational trail that runs along the route where wire ring surrounded Ljubljana during the Second World War. In memory of past events, various events are taking place today, including Recreational March around Ljubljana and the Threesomes Run. These two events were the focus of my research. I was interested in how people relate the history of a place to a hiking and running event. In addition, I was also interested in the development of the PST and the controversy that arose regarding red star masts.
