Balkan mountaineering orienteering competition 2022 yet again took place in Pokljuka, Slovenia, after six years. Event, organised by MK PZS, lasted from 30th of September till 2nd of October and was attended by 31 orienteering teams from 6 Balkan countries. Weekend passed quickly leaving us only with pleasant memories and new friends.
The competition has several different names. We named it IMOC (International Mountaineering Orienteering Competition) six years ago, when we first organized this competition under the MK PZS organization. It also took place on Pokljuka. Later, it was renamed to BMUMOC (Balkan Mountaineering Union’s Mountain Orienteering Competition).
The first competition was followed by the second and so on until it became a tradition. It is organized by a different country every year. Competitions took place in Slovenia (2016), Serbia (2017), North Macedonia (2018), Bosnia and Herzegovina (2019), Montenegro (2021) and Slovenia again (2022).
