Notes and recommendations

It is probably more convenient to traverse the saddle the other way round, i. e. ascending the more difficult “via-ferrata” sections instead of descending.

I recommened wearing crampons or spikes on your boots when there is snow on the trail, what is not an unlikely occurrence in early summer or in autumn.

The technical part is rather short, yet comparable with the more difficult sections on the Orla Perć trail in Poland.

I would recommend wearing a helmet on said technical part.
