Zuzka is a generation younger friend of Mary, the organizer of the Mountains. Both women combine friendship and mutual support. When they want to play sports, they call each other, when they need to talk, they go one by one, when they need help, when they support each other, when they want to have fun or create something for the community, they go in together.
Zuzkin’s family and three other families founded the DIVO association and started cycling events in the park Brezina. They help build trails for mountain bikes with different degrees of difficulty, organize children’s races and mask races.
We have Brezina as our second home. We’re in the woods, we’re doing something for people, for ourselves, and it’s funny, and Zuzka will explain.
In addition, he cares for two sons and a daughter and teaches English in high school. He says he’s trying to keep the students from getting bored.
And another coincidence. Zuzka De Riggová is one of the children with whom I did dramatic education in Puchov and later devoted himself under the wings of the Green Line to youth camps focused on ecology and restoration of historical monuments. We haven’t seen each other in 15 years. Surprise was mutual.
