Description
During this trip we will trek from hut to hut. Every night staying at a different mountain cottage or hotel. All bedding will be provided, therefore no sleeping bags will be needed. Each mountain cottage provides basic rooms with number of beds, usually 4 – 6 beds in each room. Toilets are usually on each floor. Mountain cottages are not to far from each other, therefore each day you will walk for about 4 – 5 hours. After reaching your next overnights stop (mountain cottage) you will have the option to do some additional walks around the cottage. On this trip you will have the opportunity to climb the peak Rysy. Walks during the week are not too difficult but good potential of fitness will be needed. In some parts there will be chain handrails to make the walks safer. Over all this is a week of excellent mountain walking with a chance to see some of the mountain animals such chamois, eagle and others. Come and we will show you the nicest parts of the magnificent and still untouched part of the Tatra Mountains.
