    Be careful that these mountains, while seemingly small, are the real deal. Approach them with the same respect, you would approach the Alps. Many people, especially from my country (Czechia) make the mistake of underestimating the High Tatras. Slovaks have dozens of stories, ranging from funny to outright tragic, about Czechs getting stranded or even lethally injured, because they underestimated their hiking skills and required gear (clothes, boots etc.). These beautiful mountains deserve your utmost respect! Slovakia is like tiny Switzerland.

    What a wonderful vlog. I really enjoyed it.
    Being a Czech having lived in Scandinavia for the past 20 years, I really miss "our" mountains. When I visited my home land this year, I have been to High Tatras with my 80-year-old parents for a week long trip and it was wonderful. Not climbing as much as you did ( logically) but we had some great time too ( Skalnate pleso, Strbske pleso, Stary Smokovec, Tatranska Lomnica, Hrebienok etc.)
    I can only imagine how shaky it must have been to reach that summit and then look down and start descending. Imagine how people did it more than 100 years back, no sporty clothes, no granola bars, and ladies in long skirts and hats :-)
    (All I could look at with concern was the young lady´s bare shoulders, turning redder and redder with time passing, thinking - oh boy, that will be some serious sun burn in the evening, the same I sustained when I was descending Skalnate pleso with my son mid-July this year:-) .
    Koliba Kamzik visit with local dishes tasting looked like such a fun.
    High Tatras are gorgeous and I hope I will return one day again.

But past 3-4 years I can not justify staying in Slovakia. Zakopane is at least 30% cheaper with way better accomodation, as well as restaurants are way better in Polish side. I believe all this happened with Euro.

    And if I may give you a pro tip (I’m a mountain climber): never make contact between knee and rock surface when climbing up or down. When you have those fixed chains, the name of the game is to stick your butt out, legs almost completely straight, firm handgrip on the chain, and slowly rappel yourself down.

    A couple of suggestions for others planning to visit. When hiking in High Tatras please make sure to have additional layers/clothing with you as weather there can sometimes change very quickly. In the summer, start your hikes early in the morning as thunderstorms in the afternoons are common this time of the year. Also it is advised to have travel insurance which includes mountain rescue coverage. There are still many tourists who forget about this. When you slip on a trail, get injured and need to be recovered the cost of this rescue operation can go into thousands of euros. So please be safe and enjoy the beautiful mountains 🏔️

    Hey! Beautiful video. You chose very good trail. We went the first part of your trip from Sklanate pleso to Velka Svistovka (highest point on the route) with our 7 years old daughter this year. One of my best memory from this year.

      True! I do not understand why people are visiting Bratislava all the time but there is nothing in there besides like two or three things. Slovakia isn't about cities but about nature and this is where people should go an visit. There is a lot to see then just capital.

    Sour cream sauce on gnocchi(aka haluš(sh)ky) is made from Bryndza - salty spreadable sheep cheese(I believe it was in the white spread you had as appetizer) and this whole wombo combo with bacon is national dish of Slovakia called Bryndzove halušky.

    well , slovakia tourism department usually offers only bratislava, kremnica and high tatras... and dont get me wrong, those places are beautiful, but slovakia have so much to offer for tourists but usually nobody knows about them. there is most castles in middle europe, so many forests and mountains for square km and more than 6000 already explored caves... but again "usually the most beautiful of those gems, nobody knows" . So i appreciate vlogs like this. Because when i visit the foreign country, people dont even know where slovakia is.

    Thanks for this great video Sammy and Tommy. Seemed like filming this hike made it more difficult with holding the GoPro Stick and going back for your camera. Luckily you both made it without falling. The scenery there was absolutely breath taking on video and probably even more so in real life. The Slovakian food looked amazing as usual.
