Notes and recommendations

I would recommened wearing microspikes on your boots when there is a layer of snow on the trail, what is not an unlikely occurrence in early summer or in autumn in the High Tatras. You may also consider wearing a helmet when there are people above you (loose rock may come down).

As opposed to as it is presented here, it is probably more convenient and safer to traverse the saddle the other way round, that means ascending from Zamrznutý kotol and descending to Kotlina pod Prielomom.

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