During march COVID-19 spread around in Czech republic and we went to lockdown.
In couple months we almost went crazy with home-teaching, homeoffice and everything
home. In may we decided to go to my parents cottage to at least get some fresh air.
It helped greatly and with some nice trips around we got together for another
par of the quarantine.

First part of week-long holiday with kids in Slovakia. Starting with mountain trips
at Mala Fatra mountains and two nights at a chalet. Next stop was in thermal spa town
Besenova, sleeping in koliba (Slovakia traditional pub/accomodation) and some visits
to baths. Despite (or because of) pretty cold temperatures and rainy days, it was
memorable experience.

During the Funchal stay we managed to buy gas cartridge and figured out how to
get bus to our mountain's starting point, Encumeada saddle. This article has
pictures from first two days in the mountains, first travering hike to the town
of Curral das Freiras, the other ascent back to the main ridge and further to
the highest point of Madeira island, the Pico Ruivo peak.

Few days spent in our favourite mountains, the Jeseniky in north of Czech. Last
year we did good walk of about 9 kilometers, so we wanted to stretch this
a bit more. In difficult weather (rain, fog) we managed to hike over
16 kilometers from Serak summit to our accomodation at Branna town.
Remaining part was much easier, we did few strolls around Branna, swimming at
pension pool, and visiting cake shop.

Together with Alice we spent four days in highest mountains of Slovakia, High
Tatras. Just one week before the area is closed for nature protection (which
lasts till next year June), we found decent autumn weather with some snow on
the tops and not so many people.

It has been six years since we were in Slovakia mountains. Having three days
available, we picked beautiful Western Tatras to test how fit we are. Even
though we did not complete what we planned because of coming thunderstorm, it
was wonderful trip.

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.

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.

My brother initiated a trip to Jeseniky, the mountains we have quite close, about
four hours via train. Original plan was changed to make our walk more ambitious,
and it turned out to be very nice trip.

Third time in Western Tatras in Slovakia. The most demanding
route over most exposed area in the center of mountains. The weather
went against the forecast and it was quite nice during our day. However
at the end of the Saturday we felt very tired and Vit has troubles with
his knees.

Slovakia offer us many great mountains. This time we picked Western Tatras,
usually called Rohace (Horny mountains) by locals. The plan was to hike whole
ridge, but adverse weather with strong rain and fog forced us to go down to
other side soon after we make it to the top.

Three days spent in northern mountains of Czech Republic, the Jizera mountains.
They are named after the most important river that goes through the region. As
there are a lot of fine granite rocks, we took also ropes and tried some
climbing. Quite tired we ended the trip in very famous aquapark Babylon in
Liberec. Relaxation was great.

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.

Stoh is the one of most eastern hills in Mala Fatra. There is a long route from
the Kralovany town, it directs straight to the mountains and ascent about

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).
