Last portion of the trip was two day trail Fimmvörþuháls heading between two glaciers. Initial ascent was quite easy, moving from Volcano Huts valley to the glacier field on the top. On open fields it started raining again and it kept on lava fields, ice and snow fields, and everywhere else. Fortunately near highest point of the trail there was a chalet. The shelter, some dry place without wind, and a bit of beer helped a lot. The other day was descent to Skogar winding around a river with many waterfalls. It kept raining all day, but vision of close end moved us through all day with a good mood. After tasting great fish&chips, enjoying thermal swimming pool at Hvolsvöllur, and day in Reykjavik we successfully finished this trip.

The route continues over flat black volcanic fields. The landscape is rather dull and monotonous, with nice hills on the horizon. Weather follows Icelandic standard, it is constantly drizzling with occassional rains and few seconds long sun shows. We decided to press on a bit and joined two segments of the route, finishing Laugavegur in Volcano Huts site.

Initial part of the Laugavegur trail, from Landmannalaugar over Höskuldsskáli and Álftavatn to Hvanngil chalet. We'd been warned about blizzard, which actually came. In strong winds and frequent rains we made it to the highest point of the trail, where we had spent night in a tent. The morning greeted us with couple inches of snow. The first two days had been through so-called "rainbow mountains" with beautiful views, strong winds, weather changing every few seconds. After we landed in Hvanngil chalet, we were pretty happy to accept the shelter.

Last few days we spent in camp Slunecne skaly (Sunny rocks) and tried local rocks with some climbing. Slovakia at its best.

Since COVID-19 is everywhere, we tried to avoid people as much as possible.
There are a mountains following Polish-Czech border called Rychlebske hory. As
there are no chalets and the ridge is couple days walk, only people willing to
drag your baggage and tent go there, promising much less people than in other
areas. It turned out to be good choice and a lot of fun.

We planned a trip to Slovakia mountains, but as there was looming bad weather,
the final decision was to climb up Lysa hora (Bald mountain) in Beskydy range.
First stop was in climbing centre near parking lot. It was slippery, but nicely
empty area spanning between trees and offering many exercises. The mountain
itself is not very big, so we made it up in around two hours and slept in one
of the chalets at the top. Second day it was pretty rainy, but it just made us
to get back faster.

There is famous organized hike over Jeseniky mountains called The sixty. The
name refers to distance you have to hike, with good deal of elevation along the
journey. In a bout of optimism Alice wanted to sign up and attend, but in the
end we did not have anybody to take care of our kids. So we decided to
try it out ourselves, a little more relaxed way over two days. It was pretty
good, but we are still not sure we can make it in one day.

It is always perfect to return to our younger days when we travelled the
Slovakia mountains. Area around Mala (Small) Fatra is one of my most favorite
one. First day we paid the debt to really visit Sulovske skaly (Sulov Rocks).
Our last attempt years ago ended because of heavy rain. This time weather still
was not perfect, but drizzle stopped when we reached highest point of the rocks
and offered great views to valley with stripes of vapor. Remaining two days we
had wonderful weather in Mala Fatra, with colorful trees and snowy ridge at the
top.

a bit more. In difficult weather (rain, fog) we managed to hike over

In order to avoid christmas shopping hell and widespread tendency to spend the
nice time of the year with cleaning the house, we left for mountains, despite
apparent lack of snow there. First day was without snow - we went to a trip to
nearby woods. In the evening, it started snowing, so the following day we could
build a snowman, have many snowball fights and bobsleigh fun with kids. Last
day all snow melted and it was nice sunny when we were leaving.

lasts till next year June), we found decent autumn weather with some snow on
the tops and not so many people.

Since our boys are finally getting age when they are able to walk, we decided
to try some mountains. Advertised for few weeks, Dan (age 5) was looking forward
and Honza (age 3) tolerated the intent. There is nice area in Jeseniky mountains,
so we went some 9 kilometers along the ridge. Turned out well, so next time we
can try something more difficult with them.

pretty easy to avoid preparation stress, also there is very little people

good, but we still went and did not regret at all.

Second trip was finally two-day endeavour. We picked a cottage called
Paprsek ("Light ray" in czech) in western part of the mountain range and then
found some way we never went before. It was quite adventurous, because the path
was off beaten track and it led through a cattle area. Fortunately we just
heard the sounds, but even those were pretty scary.

Hard to belive, but during last three year we found ourselves only at three

but still return soon enough to look after them, we picked Jeseniky mountains,
which are just about 120km from Brno.

Our vacation have changed since Dan was born. Basic constraints were two. The
place should not be very far, because we cannot handle the cry for more than

mostly from one sandbox to another, to keep Dan happy.

Upon this winter there is the last chance to go skiing. The nearest location of
remaining snow is in Jeseniky, probably just on the ridge. We traversed whole
lenght of Hruby Jesenik, in whole about thirty kilometers. Show covered it all,
so it went well. In contrast there are some photos from the descent, they are
much more springy.

Last month I did some cross-country on ski, every time in deep snow,
making my own track. This time we wanted something else. Few days spent in
Highlands region, where heavy machinery is making ski highways every morning.

New Year we are going to spend by dolce far niente. For a clear conscience we
went out to country, in this time naturally with cross-country ski. Pretty bad
weather, freezing, windy, no-one with brain in head would go out. As expected,
we met nobody, probably everyone spend this time by fire ...

Stoh is the one of most eastern hills in Mala Fatra. There is a long route from

kilometer high. That was a path I went with my brother. Some pictures from
autumn mountains.

Weekend on Slovak mountains, this time it is Lower Tatras (Nizke Tatry). As
planned we started on Friday, going to spend there as much time as possible.
Saturday found us in camp near the mountains, weather was rainy and unpleasant.
Me and Alice tried to reach Raztocka Hola, others rather spend some time in
caves. The other day, Sunday, however showed nicer face and allowed us to
ascend two highest hills here, Dumbier (2043m) and Chopok (2023m).

ice-cream, which is there called gellato. We tried both during our one week

One class of Brno's Technical university is called 'Alpenwander', the german
word that stands for 'Hike on Alps'. My girl-friend is just studying there,
so we can take part. In fact, everybody is invited, who like hiking. This time
was not typical June weather ...

Three days skiing and snowboarding in Ramzova, village located in Jeseniky
mountains. Great weather gives us deal of snow. Because I learn snowboard
time from time, around one day each year, I am pretty dangerous one on ski
slope. Dangerous mostly to myself.

After successful skiing on Hochkar last month we spend another day there, along
with more pals. Brave Roman surprised all with his ability to drive all slopes,
although it was his first attempt to control ski. Good job.

In the distance of sixty kilometers western of Brno there is some hills,
altogether called Highlands (Vysocina). Because of direct lines of train and
regular considerable amount of snow it stands for ideal place for cross-country
skiing. Centre of area is New Town (Nove mesto), where we found accomodation.
As many people from Brno has similar opinion about suitability of place,
typical routes around New Town was crowded. We have no other choice than create
our own hill-to-hill path. It is beautiful to go as first in deep snow ...

Skiing in Austria is much more pleasant than in our country. It is a bit
more expensive, though you don' need to wait for skilift and there is much
more space all around.

Last year we were hiking on the mountains called Small Fatra and found it very
right for that. So we tried to repeat the success, however this time it was
very different. Instead of sparkling snow and bright sunshine we went in rain
under dark clouds. Another face of mountains, also good to see it.

What I do not like very much is walrusing around the beach. So
I persuaded Alice to make short trip to mountains towered above Makarska
town. I was nearly one and half kilometer in vertical distance, hot sun
above head. Mind you, the beer after return we loved.
