Hiking to Baranec hill

November 2020 · 2 min read · District of Liptovský Mikuláš

I start this tourist trip in the Ráčková Valley. I go into the forest, walk a few meters and use gps to find out that I came down from a tourist sign. And I'm going on an asphalt road.

In short, through the forest I find the mark again. When I look at the two tourists standing in the middle of the log cabin and watching the map, I find that I am not alone in getting out of the way.

I'm starting to rise slowly. I'm alone on this tour. Some would say that he would never go hiking alone, but it's not that bad. Man is alone with his thoughts and perceives things around him much more.

Whether it's various flowers in a meadow, a spider's web and a spider hidden in it, waiting patiently for its unsuspecting victim, or new life in the form of small trees.

I climb higher and gradually enter the rhododendron area from the forest. Interesting perspectives are beginning to appear in advance.

The sidewalk in the rhododendron is quite narrow and I have something to do when I break through it. With my hands, I protect the camera carried over my shoulder.

In the distance I see the destination of my journey. Well, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first. Now all I have to do is walk along the ridge.

Rhododendron has receded and I admire the plants that grow at this altitude in the low grass that grows here.

Some grow freely in the meadow, others prefer dry places near the rocks.
