Plan it well

Good to know before you go

  • The funicular reaches Hrebienok in roughly seven minutes and saves the initial climb.
  • Choose footwear for ice, mud or wet rock; winter walking often needs traction aids.
  • Higher routes have seasonal closures, while the lower Hrebienok area remains a flexible shorter outing.
