Looking for a travel company
Hi all!)
I came from Ukraine and live in Bratislava.
It would great to find a company for traveling to the mountains.
I have a car, and some experience of traveling in the mountains and speleology.
And another question, is it allowed to visit non-tourist caves with speleological equipment in Slovakia?

3-5 day hike recommendation
Hi.
We are a couple wanting to have a nice hut to hut hike in the Tatras. We are open whether it's the lower or the higher tatra, the only thing we would like to avoid are the super famous classic treks. Do you have any suggestions for 3-5 day hike in pretty areas ?
Do we need to call huts and reserve places in advance for the beginning of August?
Thank you!!

Rules of visit CHKO
Hello, hiking community!
I'm from Uzhorod (Ukraine) and I plan to visit CHKO Vihorlat in April-May.
I know about strict rules in National Parks of Slovakia. But i don't know anything about CHKO's.
I just read on Wikipedia that mountain Vihorlat is inaccessible to tourists. Are there any other restrictions i should know?
Aspecially I'm interested in rules of camping with tent. Is it allowed? Or maybe there are some special places for it?
Thanks for the help.

Downloading a track
Hi :)
On mapy.hiking.sk I've seen a route that I would like to download and use in Locus Map.
My Slovak is crude but I've muddled my way through most of the features but just can't work out how to download a complete route.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Diky :)

From Zbojnícka chata to Chata pod Rysmi
Hi,
We are a group of quite experienced (male) hikers. At the end of June we will walk from Zbojnícka chata to Chata pod Rysmi. My Kompass map says that it will take about 8:30 hrs.
However, aAccording to https://mapa-turystyczna.pl/ it will take much longer: 11 hrs.
What is your experience?
We really would like to get there so will set our alarms according to your messages.
Thanks,
Jan

Wandering through Slovakia
Ahoj všetci!
I understand the Slovak, but unfortunately I can not write correctly in this language. You can reply in Slovak.
In early May my wife and I will hiking in the Slovak mountains. This will be our second (my third) long-distance trip in Slovakia. Together we have been traveling around Spiš (Ľubovnianska vrchovina - Levočské vrchy - Slovenský raj) and I alone wandered along the E8 trail.
This time we are going from Bratislava to Žilina (Cesta hrdinov SNP - Lúčanská Fatra).
I have a few questions for you:
1. Bratislava - can you recommend a good traditional restaurant and an atmospheric cafe that is not crowded with tourists?
2. Bukova - What is your opinion about the campsite there? On the eKempy.sk website is info that campig is closed until 15.06? Is it true? Also - is a grocery store in Bukova?
3. Myjava - is a public shower in this town?
4. Trenčín - What is your opinion about the campsite there?
5. Čičmany - is there a grocery store?
6. Útulňa pod Kľakom - Has anyone been there lately? We want to stay there for one day.
7. Grandhotel Partyzán - Has anyone been there lately?
8. Splavovanie Váhu - We end our trip in Strečno and we want kayaking on Váh. Any suggestions on where to start and where to go?
And that's all for now. I'm waiting for your advice?

"Tracking"
Could someone help me please?
I regularly hike in Slovakia.
It would be great to seem my actual location on mapy.hiking map.
Like a tracking program but not with Google Earth but on mapy.hiking.
Is that possible? If yes, how?
Thank you with kind regards,

Thank you, PaliT
PaliT, Thank you for your advice.
I have checked them on a map.
I cannot image how to get to “Chata M. R. Štefánika, Kamenná chata (Chopok), útulňa Ďurková.”
Can I get to the places by a public bus? I have no car.

Pešiu turistiku v Vysokých a Nízkych Tat
Budem sa snažiť, aby tento post otázku slovenského preložený pomocou tlmočníka Google. Ak budem mať odpoveď v slovenskom jazyku, budem prekladať interpretom Google. Samozrejme, že odpovede v angličtine sú vítané.
Mám plán pešiu turistiku vo Vysokých Tatrách tento rok v lete.
Myslím, že veľa turistických trás vo Vysokých Tatrách. Páči sa mi hlavne chodníky, ktoré prechádzame pekné oblasti alpských kvetín.
Zostanem vo Vysokých Tatrách po dobu dvoch týždňov a pokúsi sa vziať niekoľko turistických trás.
Mohli by ste navrhnúť niekoľko ciest pre alpských kvetín, ukázaním počiatočný a koncový miesto chodníky?
Som cudzinec a nemajú vedomosti o Vysokých Tatier. Takže mám jednoducho plán pobytu hotel v Vysoké Tatry (názov mesta?). Avšak, tam by mohlo byť lepšie miesta (mesta) ako Vysoké Tatry pre takú turistiku. Mohli by ste navrhnúť miestach (mesto), kde by som mal zostať pre pešiu turistiku, vzhľadom k nemám auto? Potom budem hľadať hotela za odporúčanú mesta.
Okrem toho mám plán prijať hikings v Nízkych Tatrách po dobu niekoľkých dní.
Existujú nejaké pekné poľa alpských kvetov v Nízkych Tatrách?
Ak áno, povedz mi najlepšie mesto pre pobyt pre pešiu turistiku.
Tiež mi najlepší čas alpských kvetov pre Vysokých a Nízkych Tatier.

Hiking in High and Low Tatras for taking
I have a plan of hiking in High Tatras this summer.
I guess many hiking trails in High Tatras. I like especially trails which we go through nice fields of Alpine flowers.
I will stay in High Tatras for two weeks and try to take several hiking trails.
Could you suggest several trails for Alpine flowers, by pointing the start and end place of the trail?
I am a foreigner and have no knowledge of High Tatras. So I have simply a plan of staying a hotel at Vysoké Tatry (the name of a town?) . However, there might be better places (towns) than Vysoké Tatry for such hiking. Could you suggest places (town) where I should stay for hiking, considering I have no car? Then, I will look for the hotel at the suggested town.
In addition, I have a plan of taking hikings in Low Tatras for a few days.
Are there any nice fields of Alpine flowers in Low Tatras?
If so, tell me the best town for staying for hiking.
Also tell me the best time of Alpine flowers for High and Low Tatras.
