This spring I was able to complete the Low Tatras main ridge tour, namely the part between the town of Donovaly and Chopok, a mountain boasting a height of 2024 meters hence making it the third highest peak in the Low Tatras mountain range (the highest is Ďumbier with 2043 meters).
Socializing, making friends and finding great comradery was and of course still is for me the most enjoyable aspect of any several-day outdoor adventure in a high altitude mountain area.
One such small adventure that offers just that is hiking across the Low Tatras main ridge in Slovakia, even in fine weather a challenging mountain tour that usually takes up five days.
Hiking tour from the Čertovica mountain pass (1232 meters AMSL) to Ďumbier (2043 meters AMSL), and further to Chopok (2024 meters AMSL) and Kamenná chata pod Chopkom.
Ďumbier is the highest peak in the Low Tatras (Nízke Tatry) mountain range in Slovakia.
Chata generála Milana Rastislava Štefánika (1740 meters AMSL) at the foot of Ďumbier is opened all year round.
