High Tatras with children
Hello,
Me, my wife and two children (8 and 6 years old) are planning a four-day hike in the high Tatras at the end of July. Our plan for the first day was to go from Skalnate Pleso over Velka Svistovka to Zelenom Plese. But I'm worried for the descent where I read you have to slide down and hold on to chains. Does anyone have advice whether this hike is suitable with children or not? (We would then continue down to chata Plesnivek and Tatranska Kotlina which I think are much easier tracks.)
Another option is to hike to Zamkovskeho chata (first day) and then up to Teryho chata (second day). That's a short distance, but again, I wonder if the final climb to Teryho might be too tough for the children.
On flat ground they can easily walk 6 km. Thanks for any suggestions!

3 days in Tatry in October
Dobry Den!
We are two friends who want to visit Vysoke Tatry for 3 days from 14 October (next week). We are dreaming of simply walking for 3 days from "Chata to Chata". We are not mountain climbers but can certainly walk for the whole day.
Would you be able to suggest such trails?
Thanks in advance!

Need advice
Need advice
my girlfriend and I are planning to spend a few days in Slovakia at the beginning of June and we would like to spend time enjoying the nature that Slovakia offers.
Therefore, I need advice about which area we should choose. We are intrested in easy hiks through the woods (my girlfriend is not ready for demanding tours so I am not sure if the High Tatras would be good choice)
At the moment we have only one advice about Tremčinske Teplice but I am not sure how path and nature look around.
Bacause we are traveling by car we would appreciate if you could provide us some information about interesting places in area like old fortress, nice lakes vewpoints...
Best regards and thanks

Best hiking trails
Hi, I will be driving form Zilina through Liptovski Mikulas to Smokovec on sunday. I looking for a nice trail, where I can spend great sunday. Could you recommend me any which is open during this season, not too crowded, and of course near my way to Smokoviec. Then I will spend in Smokviec next week. Could you recommend anything which is near Smokoviec, not in High Tatras, which are almost all closed ? Or maybe there is anything open in Tatras, where I can go ?

E8: Bratislava - Dukliansky Priesmyk - . . .
Since 2005 I am visiting beautifull Slovakia every year to continue my E8 hike (Cesta Hrdinov SNP). It looks like that this year I will make it to the Polish border at the Dukliansky Priesmyk. But how does the trail continue?
I have detailed maps of South-East Poland (scale 1:50 000 to 1:100 000) where some hiking trails are drawn but they are not named. As far as I am aware the E8 is supposed to go east/south-east from the Dukla Pass, into the Bieszczadzki National Park, to the village of Ustrzyki Gorne (?). But how does it continue from the Dukla Pass:
to the village of Barwinek, or further north to the city of Dukla? And than?
Are there signs that show the way? Any information is greatly appreciated!

Trekking in Low Tatras in April2012
Hello, I am planning to trek from Telgart to Donovaly along the main ridge in the beginning of April.
1) Would I be able to trek through the main ridge in 5 days given the late winter conditions?
2) How difficult will the terrain be at that time? I will bring my ice axe and crampons.
3) Will the risk of avalanche be relatively low since it is at the end of ski season?
4) What is the temperature range around that time?
5) Will there be other hikers doing this route at that time of the year? I hope to meet and join up with someone there.
5) I hope to stay at the Andrejcova, Ramza, and Durkova shelters, as well as the Chata M.R. Stefanika chalet. Will those be open at the time?
Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

camping with my tent
Hello!
I’m Andreea from Romania and I plan to hike in Tatras with a friend(in July). We want to walk, admire everything, relax and forget society “rules”.
I firstly thought I can just go there and camp in woods(of course without making fire), being used to do that in Romanian mountains; but it seems is forbidden?
Can please someone help me with this concern?
Is it or isn’t it possible to camp in wildness?
Thank you very much!
