🇸🇰 First-Ever Guide: Conquering Slovakia’s Highest Peak

📍 Where? Part of the High Tatras (Vysoké Tatry)—a stunning but underrated mountain range bordering Poland. Zero Asian tourists during our 4-day trip, making it Europe’s best-kept outdoor secret! ✈️ Getting There Fly to Poprad-Tatry Airport (Wizz Air from London) → 20min drive to the trailhead (easiest access ever!). No daily flights? Fly to Košice and road-trip (equally scenic!). 🏡 Accommodation 1️⃣ Chata pod Soliskom (mountain hut) 1hr hike or cable car to reach. Cute but not luggage-friendly! 🎒 2️⃣ Villa Emma (near Štrbské Pleso train station) Perfect base: supermarkets, restaurants (try local venison! 🦌🍽️). 🧗♂️ The Climb: Mt. Gerlach (2,655m) Must hire a guide (park rule!)—no DIY for this technical climb. Stats: 16km round trip | 1,000m elevation gain (last 700m roped-up!). Thrills: Rock scrambling + via ferrata (like nature’s bouldering gym! 🪢) Crystal-clear alpine lakes (even after rain!) Summit views = mind-blowing 🤯 Pro tip: We paired it with Poland’s Rysy Peak (2,499m)—back-to-back high points! 🌟 Why It’s Unique? Not "just hiking"—think adventure climbing with epic rewards. Zero crowds (unlike Alps!) but equally jaw-dropping. #HikingSlovakia #GerlachPeak #HighTatras #OffTheBeatenPath #ViaFerrata #SummitSeeker #EuropeHiddenGems
