In the course of this program you will acquaint yourselves with the most typical and famous high mountain cottages and hotels. You will enjoy hikes through high mountain saddles connecting these cottages. The highest of them, the Priecne sedlo, is located at an altitude of 2.352 m, the highest point of this trekking is the peak Východná Vysoká – 2.429 m. The mountain guide will take care of your safety during more demanding ascents. A completely different experience is a romantic rafting down the Dunajec River on the Slovak – Polish border, and the legend about the flying monk called Cyprián. An offered alternative is the visit to the largest castle in Central Europe and precious sites of late Gothic.
