Spectacular, but please do not underestimate it! No large backpacks, use sturdy footwear, and children should be over 10 years old and sure-footed. You must be fit, sure-footed, and free from fear of heights, even on the hiking trails around the gorges (Horne Diery is even more demanding). Avoid wet days!

The Diery Gorge in Slovakia's Malá Fatra Mountains offers an exhilarating, unique hiking experience. This system of gorges and canyons comprises three parts: Dolné diery (Lower Holes), Nové diery (New Holes), and Horné diery (Upper Holes). The via ferrata sections of the gorge are equipped with ladders, chains, and footbridges, allowing hikers to navigate steep and narrow passages that take you close to the waterfalls and up the rocky cliffs. The trails are well-marked and these sections are well-maintained, but proper equipment and caution are advised.

Very nice hiking trail. Only partially suitable for people with a fear of heights. We walked the trail with our border collie; the dog must climb, be sure-footed and be carried over two ladders! It was great fun for us and our dog, but you should know your own dog well. 😉

Tip: it is good to start from the blue trail, turn yellow at the Male noclehý pass and then turn to the green one. The ascent is steep, but then a gentler descent to the valley.

Hell ... This hike is a via ferrata over slippery rocks, narrow footbridges and ladders of death. For people like me with fear of free fall horror. Also totally crowded.
