The Nordic walker with the best technique in the world is Slovak Read moreNordic walking is a sport that was established in Finland. It involves walking with sticks that are similar to those used for skiing and may change according to the terrain.

The project is part of the cooperation between the Slovak town of Humenné and the Polish town of Jaslo.
