Invest in a good pair of hiking poles if you’re not used to the terrain. They saved my knees on the steep descents and made the experience much smoother.
Make sure to download offline maps before your trip. Cell service can be spotty up there, and I got lost a couple of times trying to navigate without one.
Bring cash for the local huts; they often don’t take cards. I regretted not having enough when I wanted to grab a hearty meal halfway through my trek
Slavkovsky Stit
Bystra Lavka
Rysy from Strbske Pleso
Check the weather a few days in advance. It changed on me unexpectedly, and I wished I'd packed an extra layer. Having a light windbreaker really helped me stay comfortable.
Bring plenty of snacks and water! I thought I could grab something on the way, but there are limited options and prices can be high in the mountain huts.
Wear good hiking shoes; I wore some old trainers and regretted it halfway up. The paths can get rocky and steep, and I slipped a few times!
Kmetov Vodopad
Pack some snacks and water for the trail; there are no places to grab food close by. I ran out of energy halfway through and wished I had brought more!
