About
Rýchle fakty: A steep, heart-pumping scramble gains roughly 220 metres over about 3 kilometres, so expect a sweaty climb with plenty of rock steps. Cool winds buffet exposed ridges, turning the lake below into shifting bands of teal and indigo that make sunrise and sunset photographers linger.
Zaujímavosti: A low, eclectic summit ritual has hikers leaving tiny trinkets or painted stones, many dated with initials and years like 'M.K. 2019', turning the top into a personal time capsule. Sharp quartz veins flash in sunlight along the final ledges, sounding faintly metallic when tapped and giving the air a crisp, mineral tang that smells like cold rain.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes and layered clothing, summit is exposed and temperatures can change quickly.
- Carry at least 1.5 liters of water and high-energy snacks, there are no services on the trail.
- Photograph from the rocky lookout near the true summit for the best panoramic shots at golden hour.
- Start before 9am or visit midweek to avoid the busiest sections, and use the designated parking area to avoid fines.
