Hiking in the High Tatras

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Trekking in the High Tatras you will be exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun all the time as at high altitudes there is nowhere to shelter from it. That is why it is important to protect your head with a hat or cap and use good protective cream or lotion to avoid sunburn.
Good trekking boots and thick socks, some even say two pairs of them, are essential not only to avoid blisters but first of all to help you keep your balance and prevent you from slipping on the rocky paths.

Luggage and bags: sport bags, ruksacks etc

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: all kinds of clothes because weather often changes, it means that you need for sure raincoat and sunglasses, T-shirts and pullovers doesn't matter how the weather is in that moment :) Try to always have a raincoat in your rucksack and wear good mountain shoes :)
