Caption: HIGH TATRAS Slovakia hiking
September 2015
Picture
Caption: High Tatras are one of my favorite mountains. While being easily reachable and accessible, they are wild, challenging and truly beautiful. This story is about the hike through Studena Dolena valleys over Priecne Sedlo pass that we did last September.

Caption: We ended up climbing down 100m of quite vertical cliff, having only some chains to hold on to. Not a good idea and quite scary also!
