[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]During the last weekend of May, we opened the summer season with tourists at Martinsk\u00e9 hole. Together with the Slovak Tourists Club and readers of the magazine Kr\u00e1sy Slovenska, we launched a new book, Koruna Turca (The Crown of the Turiec), whose author, Adam Frk\u00e1\u0148, together with Jakub Grajciar, presented the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a comprehensive story of a tourist route along the ridge of Mal\u00e1 and Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra, approximately 200 kilometers long and with an elevation gain of more than 10,000 meters.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere of the event was provided by the accordion players Chl\u00e1dekovci and members of the SKD Martin with a program of songs by Karol Ducho\u0148 “Zem pam\u00e1t\u00e1”. The youngest visitors were delighted by the outdoor workshop “Summer with squirrels” led by forest educator Erik Hirschner and there were also local scouts – the 55th Li\u0161iak Vr\u00fatky. The opening of the summer season at Martinsk\u00e9 hole took place in cooperation with the Regional Tourism Organization Turiec and with the financial support of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Slovak Republic.<\/p>\n

Ferrata set and mountain scooter rental<\/strong><\/p>\n

The HZS via ferrata in L\u00fa\u010dansk\u00e1 Mala Fatra, passing through the Pivovarsk\u00fd potok canyon, is one-way and at a certain point branches into an easier (B) and more difficult (C) ascent variant. Both variants join again at the end of the route. The ferrata presents steep rocks, waterfalls, the highest of which is up to 30 meters high, but also resting places where visitors have the opportunity to regain lost strength while enjoying beautiful views. The HZS recommends using adequate ferrata equipment, a helmet, a seat harness, and a fall absorber (the so-called ferrata set) for movement on the ferrata, which you can reserve in our online store<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
