Selected alternatives for you
    The longest distance of the hiking day is recommended only for experienced hikers in good condition, as there is quite a bit of elevation to overcome, and you will be constantly rollercoastering between mountains and valleys. In return, however, hikers are accompanied by dazzling panoramas and wonderful landscapes, and they can be rightfully proud of their completion.
