The most popular hike in the High Tatras is suitable for more experienced hikers. The reward for conquering this challenging route will be unique views from the north-western, lookout peak of Rysov.
The hike is a full day, some sections are steeper and in the case of a hike in late spring or autumn, there may be ice on the trail. We recommend that hikers follow the instructions of the Mountain Rescue Service and, if necessary, equip themselves with snow chains or hiking crampons.
