DAY 34 – HIGH TATRAS ARE THE BEST
Up at 8am with hangover to hike up to Teryho chata at 2015 meters. This was amazing because we started in pine forests and ended the hike well above the snow line. Hot coffee and new ‘mountain beanies’ then we hiked back to where we started from. Later in the day we trekked across the Tatras and took in the highest peak, Lomniky Stit (2632), via cable car. Our final trek of the day took us over a treacherous mountain pass at 2300 meters. It was fine on the way up but on the exposed side of the mountain the snow was icy and the path criss-crossed a steep vertical face. Uncomfortable stuff. It took us nearly four hours to do a downhill walk that was supposed to take just over two. Had one of my best sleeps in ages that night.
