Ljubljana, 27 July - Recreation enthusiasts will this week be able to test their versatility in a quadrathlon event or rake part in a kayaking and canoeing marathon on Slovenia's largest lake.

Thursday's quadrathlon in the town of Kamnik will feature men's, women's or mixed teams competing in beach soccer, street basketball, beach volleyball and mini water polo.

This is the only quadrathlon of its kind in Slovenia.

The five-kilometre marathon on Lake Bohinj on Saturday will meanwhile be especially exciting as the Alpine peaks around the lake are still covered with snow.

"Take it as a trip to nature or as a competition, because your score is not important. What is important is the enjoyment and freedom of movement, which gets special importance at the middle of the lake," the organisers said as they announced the event.
