After four days of swimming on the river Drava, Martin reached Slovenia. On the 5th day he started in Labotu and finished the day after 51 kilometers in Vuhred.
Mass receptions near the river were full of emotions. Few thousand people happily waited for Martin in Dravograd, Vuzenica, Muta and Vuhred, where they made nice and warm-hearted receptions.
All these events also honoured with the presence all the mayors of the cities, who organized a special surprise in Vuhred. On the river bank was brought a huge, construction lifting engine (hoist) – palfinger, which lifted Martin with the box from the river among the crowd of people.
