In the 2025 season As part of our family trips, we organized a series of joint mountain expeditions, during which participants conquered successive peaks. The highest point reached was Śnieżnik (1,424 m above sea level). We covered a total of 74.7 km of trails. 125 people with disabilities participated in the trips, including 31 participants joining the project for the first time. They were accompanied by 143 family members and 408 volunteers, whose commitment provided invaluable support at every stage of the expeditions.

At the same time, we conducted trips for social welfare homes. We organized 13 trips (including two to the KPN Nature and Education Center), with participation from six facilities. A total of 131 people with disabilities and 114 volunteers participated. Participants visited places such as Wielka Sowa, Kozie Saddle, Bolczów Castle, Radunia, and Stara Owczarnia, covering a total of 43.8 km of trails.

Both the family trips and those organized for the nursing home demonstrated that traveling together has enormous social, integrative, and therapeutic value. Each trip demonstrated that with the right support and commitment, no barriers are insurmountable.

Rest and relaxation are extremely important topics for us, around which we focused in 2023 a large part of our activities.

We tried to give you respite in the mountains, organizing 17 "Connecting Us in the Mountains" team-building trips filled with emotion, friendly gestures, and touching moments, as well as five jazz concerts in social welfare homes. Additionally, we conducted a series of film therapy and art therapy workshops, which took place in Świdnica this fall. We also returned to music therapy, which took place in both Świdnica and Dzierżoniów.

This year, we also managed to take a record number of retreats! We went with you to the mountains for a few days nine times, to spend time with people who provide peace and understanding, and to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Taking a breather, which everyone should be able to afford, was also important to us, and we are glad that we could allow ourselves to do so together with you this year during our joint activities.

In 2022 We took part in 11 family hikes, with 79 people with disabilities participating! We covered 108.5 km of trails together! One of our most memorable trips was climbing Śnieżka, which once again proved to us that it doesn't matter whether you walk independently, with assistance, or don't walk at all – with the right people by your side, nothing is impossible! We were accompanied by 178 volunteers, who spent a total of 1,442 hours in the field!

Four of these trips were organized in partnership with Merrell as part of the "Mountains Connect Us – On the Trail with Merrell" campaign. We've also published a series of video guides designed for outdoor enthusiasts. You can find them on the following page: On the trail with Merrell

In 2021, we organized 11 trips, including 9 family trips and 2 trips for care and health facilities.

Together we visited Szrenica, Włodzickie Hills, Hala pod Śnieżnikiem, Andrzejówka, Niknąca Łąka, Jagodna, Bukowiec Park, Jakuszycka Glade, Wielka Sowa and Kozie Saddle.

Three of these expeditions were organised as part of the campaign #KrokNext with Merrell, during which participants and volunteers tested previously prepared maps containing all the necessary information needed by someone wishing to go to the mountains with a wheelchair user or someone with mobility issues. The maps are available for download and free use. here.

Year 2020 It wasn't the easiest journey, and the lack of public funding effectively hindered our travel arrangements. Fortunately, our paths crossed with the wonderful people of the Imago Foundation and the Mayday Foundation. It was also thanks to their support that our joint mountain expeditions and unforgettable experiences were possible. Thank you for your help and kind hearts. We hope our collaboration will be long and fruitful!

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to hike in the mountains again with so many wonderful, persistent, and courageous people. Without you, this project wouldn't exist. Thank you for being here and for your willingness to explore the mountains with us.

In 2019 we completed the first edition of the project in the field of integration and social activation "The Mountains Connect Us", which involves organizing mountain trips for people with disabilities, their families, and their immediate surroundings. By challenging stereotypes, we have made the beautiful Sudetes accessible to those who face much greater challenges on a daily basis.

Entire families eagerly joined the project, as did entrepreneurs and ordinary people who couldn't go to the mountains for health reasons but still wanted to be part of the expeditions. The owners of a local sports center encouraged people who worked out there to volunteer, so they could use their muscles beyond the gym. A small restaurant in Świdnica prepared extra meals for all participants on one of the trips. Mrs. Maria, who couldn't participate in the trips due to health issues, donated homemade apple pancakes to the Foundation for each trip. The "The Mountains Connect Us" project sparked a positive response among the community.
