Why Do I Hike

Directed by Nikola Horvat-Tesla

Inspiring story of an avid hiker who hiked Pacific Crest Trail and established Croatian Long Distance Trail and now he longs for a new adven ture on which he wants to find the reasons he goes into the wilderness and hikes for a long periods of time. On his quest he encounters other hikers and together with them he made a beautiful collage of answers and reasons why do they hike. Here’s what the author, Nikola Horvat-Tesla says about how this whole project came about:"In summer of 2019. I went to hike Colorado Trail to find the reasons why do I hike. This was independent project and the movie was filmed, edited and written by myself. It was challenging to carry all of video equipment in my backpack, but I had a vision and a goal – I wanted to capture my inner reasons why I do hike and why do I always go back to long distance hiking.
