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.

Four days next to Austria-Italy border in area called Carinthia (or Kärnten in
german). It is wonderful place of large lakes hidden between mountains. We
originally planned bike trip, but ended doing local Via Feratas. Combined
with nice fall weather and very little people around it was great vacation.

called Pálava, known for wineyards, castles, and lakes. We did some swimming,
wine tasting and trips, but our kids especially loved our tent placement in
Apollo camp. We were next to fenced area with goats and sheep. Boys took some
of them for "theirs", gave them names and in every free moment they kept
feeding them.
