I like hiking. Since 1985 I hike in mountains, hills and planes in Slovakia and abroad. Till the end of 2023 I had over 48 700 kilometres in my legs with altitude over 2 110 000 metres.
I make most of the hikes in Slovakia. As regards other countries, in past I preferred Czech republic, though 38 years ago it was not abroad. Recently I visit mostly Alps, that is Austria, Slovenia, and time-to-time Dolomites in northern Italy. I made some few hikes also in Hungary (Visegrad hegyek, Pilis), Poland (Orlia perc, Jura Krakovsko-Czestochovska), and also in Norvay (in Finnmark), Rumania (Fagaras, Bucegi), England (together with my colleague), Macedonia (Galicica) and in New Zealand.
When I was young, I did few-days-long hikes with a heavy backpack. Later I discovered ferratas in Alps, but also they became too challenging for me. Recently I like stone arches. In winter I make a few hikes in snow-shoes, and in summer I like to visit places with plenty of flowers.
In 2024 I hiked over 4 000 kilometres with altitude over 155 000 metres. About 2/3 of my hikes I made in Slovakia, 1/3 abroad.
