The route continues along the red trail towards Zamkovsk\u00e9ho chata, where you can refresh yourself before the final ascent to T\u00e9ryho chata.

This is where a helmet comes in handy, as you&#8217;ll be climbing steeply upwards at a 60-degree angle towards the ridge, and rocks occasionally fall. One such stray rock hit me above the knee, and luckily, I was holding firmly onto the chain at that moment, otherwise I probably would have fallen quite a way down.   <\/p>\n\n<p>After overcoming the chains at Prie\u010dne sedlo (reportedly the most challenging thing you can experience on a hike in the Tatras), a gentler descent follows, and about an hour and a half&#8217;s walk to Zbojn\u00edcka chata. The entire journey offers magnificent views and a series of lakes (Siv\u00e9, Ledov\u00e9, and Starolesniansk\u00e9 pleso). Bring binoculars; with a bit of luck, you&#8217;ll see a group of climbers conquering one of the surrounding peaks.   <\/p>\n\n<p>At Zbojn\u00edcka chata, have some steamed dumplings and decide which way to go; you have two options. If Prie\u010dne sedlo didn&#8217;t deter you, take the route over Polsk\u00fd h\u0159eben, where there are two sections with chains, similar to those at Prie\u010dne. Alternatively, choose the longer but safer route through Velk\u00e1 studen\u00e1 dolina to Rainerova chata and via Hrebienok to your destination for the day, Sliezsky dom.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Sliezsky dom is a luxurious, the highest-altitude mountain hotel in Slovakia.

For 7.5 km from Sliezsky dom to the Ostrva peak, we walk along the High Tatras with views of the lowlands, Poprad, and Slovak Paradise.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Batizovsk\u00e9 pleso, which you&#8217;ll encounter along the way, is a great opportunity for a snack and a rest. After reaching the Ostrva peak, you&#8217;ll see Popradsk\u00e9 pleso deep in the valley, to which you&#8217;ll descend 500 meters of elevation over a short 2.7 kilometers. And believe it or not, going down is harder than going up! The good news is that after Ostrva, you only have an hour and a half of comfortable walking to \u0160trbsk\u00e9 pleso.

We rented a paddle boat on the lake, tried all three local cafes, including the Zuba\u010dka restaurant and the pancake house.    <\/p>\n\n<p>At 5:30 PM, we boarded a bus (from the main parking lot) and at 6:00 PM, we got off at the Pribylina, Ra\u010dkova dolina stop. From there, it was just under 4 kilometers to our next accommodation along an unfrequented asphalt road, a trek of less than an hour.

Up to the crossroads in \u017diarska dolina, where there is a large parking lot, the path is marked as suitable for families with children.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Along the way, you can only stop at Baranec hut, which, however, was not open to the public during our visit, only to accommodated guests. It is also the only section whose mapping in online maps (<a href=\"http:\/\/mapy.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mapy.cz<\/a>) differs from reality, and after about three kilometers from the start of the path, you need to continue along the red trail slightly to the right into the forest, even though the main road, used by bikes, goes another way. <\/p>\n\n<p>From \u017diarska dolina, a steady, at times steeper, ascent awaits you up to \u017diarska chata. You can either take the new asphalt road, which, however, is used by scooter riders coming down from \u017diarska chata, or walk along the marked blue trail through the forest. Both paths are equally long and converge into one asphalt road for the last two kilometers.  <\/p>\n\n<p>At \u017diarska chata, expect a grumpy man at the counter. If you stay in the tourist dormitory (an attic with &#8216;cubicles&#8217;), don&#8217;t forget to ask for a shower token. It&#8217;s included in the price, although no one will tell you. You can&#8217;t buy more, because &#8216;3 minutes for a shower must be enough for you&#8217;. If you get wet on the way, like we did, the hut has a drying room that the staff will open for you free of charge.    <\/p>\n\n<p>On this section, expect views primarily of the opposing Low Tatras.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-soft\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#005600;border-radius:0px;max-width:none\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#318912;color:#ffffff;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px\">\u017diarska chata - informace<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Accommodation with half-board:<\/strong> 9.5 EUR\/person + 5 EUR\/person breakfast + dinner approx. 6 EUR\/person<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reservations: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ziarskachata.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u017diarska chata<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Accommodation Type:<\/strong> &#8216;Boxes&#8217; in the attic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do they have a shower?<\/strong>&nbsp;Yes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do you need a sleeping bag?

However, if, like us, you arrive at Zverovka around two o&#8217;clock, you can catch a bus directly at the hut and get a ride to Podbiel train station.
