Week in Austria, especially Lechtaller Alp mountains. The Eagle Way is long
distance trail. We picked last couple sections which were marked as difficult and
rightly so. In the hindsight it was wonderful move, with many steep saddles,
large valleys and varying beautiful landscape.

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.

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.

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.

Seventh time at annual event in Krtiny village. It offers quite difficult
50 and 100 kilometers walks to those far more trained that we are, but for kids
the ten kilometer round is rather nice. We joined two other families and it was
good move. The kids were motivated and cheerful, and the trail was over before

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.

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.

Hard to belive, but during last three year we found ourselves only at three
trips alone without Dan and Honza. Because we wanted at some mountains again,
but still return soon enough to look after them, we picked Jeseniky mountains,
which are just about 120km from Brno.

Inspired by Alice's friend we tried long march around the town Krtiny.
Longest distance of 50km was far out of our reach, so we went with pram
only a quarter -- 12km. It was difficult anyway, we partly carried our
son in hands, partly in the pram and only small portion we could overcome
by normal ride. The terrain was though -- rocky and hilly.

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

ascend two highest hills here, Dumbier (2043m) and Chopok (2023m).
