Hike the High Tatras & Slovak Paradise

You need a good level of fitness as we will be walking 15-18 km a day with up to 700m of elevation gain.

The basics are: - Sturdy, broken-in hiking shoes or boots - Rain/windproof jacket - Lightweight, breathable hiking shirts, shorts and trousers - Warm jacket or sweater - Water bottle - Small rucksack for carrying personal items - Swimsuit - Sun protection (hat, sunglasses and sunblock)

Sure you can. The majority of our travellers are solo travellers. You will be sharing the room with someone of your gender. We never put females and males together in one room. If you would like a single room, you can book it for 80 EUR extra and pay it when you are in Slovakia.

You will stay in a smaller guesthouse of 3* quality in one of the villages at the foot of the Tatra mountains. The rooms are spacious and recently refurbished. It has WIFI and a small wellness center with saunas and jacuzzi. The rooms don't provide toiletries and you need to bring your own.

We will meet on the first day at the Krakow Airport in Poland at 4:00 PM. Our guide will wait simply in front of Arrivals with a Skyhook sign. On the last day, we will drop you off back at the Krakow Airport in Poland at around 4:00 PM.

Breakfast is usually buffet style with cold meats, cereals, eggs, sausages, fruit etc. For lunch, we stop at a local supermarket so you can buy and pack your lunch and eat what you like. For dinner, you can choose from 3 different meals. You can expect traditional meals, including chicken and pork meat with potatoes and rice. However, they can also cater to various diets if needed.

Day 1: No hiking Day 2: 19km, 850m ascent and descent, 8 hours Day 3: 16km, 700m ascent, 6 - 7 hours Day 4: 5km, 300m of ascent, 2,5 hours

The currency in Slovakia is the Euro. You can pay with a card in most places. Cash is needed on 2 days when we take a break in mountain huts, which do not accept cards.

Yes, on Day 3, when you head to the Slovak Paradise National Park. You can't be afraid of heights here as you will be climbing ladders, and walking on bridges and iron platforms several meters above water level.

Sure, just let us know what kind of diet you have and the hotel will prepare meals according to your needs. You can indicate this on your trip form after booking or drop us a message.

Unfortunately, a drop-off in the city is not possible as the transfers are long and the traffic in the city is usually very bad. However, it easy to get to the city by train from the airport. It's only a 17 min ride and it costs around 3€.
