Trail to Ďumbier

Highlight • Trail

It is always worth stopping and enjoying the view. Incidentally, a small trickle rises in the mountains, which turns into a river during the descent and has created many different caves in the past.

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

A very nice view mountain. Unfortunately, the summit is often covered in clouds ... At the summit there is a milestone and a summit cross.

That's a nice scramble that requires full concentration for every step from stone to stone. The Peaks are also very popular with locals and the gondolas also allow for easier access. When the weather is nice, it sure gets full!
Attention, the direct route from Dumbier to Chata Stefanika is closed in summer due to erosion, but we were only …

Great tour with many opportunities to stop off, moderate gradients and very well developed hiking trails. You can also hike this tour in the opposite direction...

We were pretty much alone on the ascent via Chata M. R. Štefánuka to Krupovo sedlo, from there on the ridge between Chopok and Ďumbier hundreds of sneaker-wearing cable car tourists struggled along the connecting path between the cable car station and the Ďumbier peak.

We spend another night at the pond. Before we go to sleep, we make extensive use of the wellness area of the local hotel. The saunas and pool are underground, in a kind of hobbit cave. There is a large bubbling tub outside from which we watch the storm approaching. Cloud towers, lightning and rain everywhere. It flashes all night …
