Despite various technologies, in Slovenian mountains we still rely mostly on the red and white "Knafelc marking" (Alojz Knafelc, Slovenian cartographer and mountaineer, 1859 - 1937). It marks more than 10.000 kilometers of mountain trails all over Slovenia. It is drawn on the right side of the path towards the goal, if possible, at eye level. It is simple and recognizable: a white circle surrounded by a red border. Due to the vivid contrasting colors, it is maximally noticeable and therefore as functional as possible in a number of different terrain and weather conditions. Knafelc marking is a century old, but it is still used in its completely unchanged form.
