    Felfelé PAZAR, lefelé semmi extra. Ezt látni kell !!! Megjegyzés : Aki nyáron , itteni melegből indul oda, javaslok pulóvert is vinni. Nekünk itthon maradt, úgyhogy a helyszínhez közeledve és látva a hőmérsékletet, illetve a felhőket első dolgunk volt Poprádon beugrani a Decatlonba 🤪. Aztán a nap hátralévő részében nem volt rá szükség. A jegyvásárlást (automata a bejarat előtt, felnőtt 4 EUR volt) érdemes első pontként megejteni. Bejárat után kb.200 méterrel kérik a jegyet. Továbbá érdemes megtartani végig, mert elvileg kérhetik a nemzeti park erre feljogosított emberei. A föntről biciklivel (8 EUR/ felnőtt) lejövetel jópofa, DE csak viszonylag gyakorlottabb kerekezősöknek javaslom. Sok részen nagyon köves (ököl méretű mészkövekkel felszórt) úton kell kerekezni. Láttunk esést is, illetve olyanokat is akik lassabban haladtak a biciklin ülve, mint azt tolva.

    Zseniálisan változatos útvonal izgalmas, természetes erdőképpel, hegyi kilátásokkal. A Chata Lajoska fel van újítva, barátságos hangulatú, ízig-vérig hegyi menedékház jó kajákkal, csapolt sörrel. A túra végén érdemes megszállni a Chata Erikában (a személyzet beszél magyarul), és aztán továbbmenni a gerincen nyugat felé.

    Viszonylag keves a valódi túraösvény. Sok az aszfalt és a köves út. Nyáron is érdemes bakancsban menni. A kilátás gyönyörű! 💖 S a jutalom a panoráma mellé az isteni cheese cake! 😋

    a parkolótól felfelé a megadott úton mentünk, azonban ezt a szakaszt nem mondanám könnyűnek, kb 45 percig meredeken kell felfelé menni a régi sípálya nyomvonalán, de egyébként szép túra útvonal

    Eher einfach Tour für die Gegend. Schöne Schlucht. Die ersten 3km Zuweg am Fluss entlang sind nach Regen schon recht schmierig/rutschig, die Schlucht selber und der Abstieg kein Problem. Der weitere Weg unten am Fluss hat ausgesetzte Stellen, muss man aber nicht machen.

    Mega. Im Herbst Wanderweg mit Bachdurchquerungen, im Frühjahr vermutlich Bachweg mit Landquerungen ;-). Auf jeden Fall hohe Goretex- oder frisch gepflegte Lederwanderschuhe anziehen. Holzleitern wie schon erwähnt meist ohne Handlauf, Trittsicherheit und Schwindelfreiheit sind hier von Vorteil.

    Aki nem járt volna még erre ne hagyja ki . A hegytetőn nagyon szép a panoráma . Annyi megjegyzés ... mert nem mondanám negatívumnak , hogy a túra kezdetétől a hegyen lévő túrista házig egy kb 5 kilométeres séta vár ránk , többnyire enyhébb-közepes pár helyen kissé kaptatósabb emelkedőkkel az erdőben , viszont út közben azon kívül nincs más látnivaló , a lényeg odafent van . A túra kezdeti szakasza és annak környéke ásványgyüjtőknek érdekes lehet .
