A mountain leader can belay you in case you feel insecure crossing the gorge (via ferrata). Belaying makes the crossing much safer especially for the less experienced hikers and for children. Via Ferrata Veľký Kyseľ is closed every year from November 1 to June 14.
The trail starts either in the Čingov tourist area or in Letanovský mlyn (talk to the mountain leader to choose from where to start) and we soon get into the gorge.
The whole trail runs along the stream and sometimes above it. The most beautiful and frequently visited parts of the trail are secured with the ropes (that’s why you’ll need a via ferrata kit).
The trail includes waterfalls, crossings over the river and some fallen trees.
Rainfalls can cause the stream to rise and the water level on the path can also be higher in certain sections so be sure to wear a good pair of shoes.
The rocks can be slippery and poor-quality shoes can make the hike very uncomfortable for you.
Persons per a mountain leader: 6 at maximum.
