Our wish comes true:
Today, the weather is holding up and we can use this day for the planned hike on the ridge of the Low Tatras. So, after breakfast, we put on our hiking gear and take a lift from the nearby valley station to Chopok.
For this, you need the combo ticket for €20 per person for the 3 different sections of chairlift, funicular, and cable car, almost all the way to the summit at an altitude of 2004 m.
At 10:45 am, we start our hike from the mountain station along the unmistakable ridge trail, of course against the mainstream of tourists, in the western direction. Most people are drawn to the east towards Dumbier (2043 m), so we have our long-awaited peace and quiet and are pretty much alone with the mountains.
Everything is ideal up here, clouds and sun, no wind and a comfortable 18°C, so we can leave our wind jackets in our backpacks. The panoramic view over the entire Slovak mountain world couldn't be better, although the upper half of the High Tatras is cut off by a layer of clouds. We take our time walking, take lots of photos, and take breaks here and there.
And what can we say: A weather change with a drop in temperature and rain comes at dinner time, but everything turned out fine. Thanks, Petrus!
