There we are thus now in the Vysoké Tatry (high Tatra). This smallest high mountains of the world have only one expansion of 26*17km however nevertheless summits to 2654m (Gerlachspitze). The whole area is since 1949 national park and for vehicle traffic of all kinds taboo. Also the mountain huts are supplied to foot with carriers. In the mountains live bears and wolves, which we are not gotten however here at the edge of the mountains to face. Only one road leads at the foot of the mountains along, the protected mountain world can exclusively on moving ways and/or by aerial ropeway be explored. A car travel on the highest summit, the Gerlachovský stít (Gerlachspitze) compensates Biker with spectacular prospects on singular stone formations, which can quite measure in their beauty with the alps.
For the mountains we have today however no time, our program look differently. We drive into the Zipser country (Zipser Magura) where we will visit the ruin of the Zipser castle. The Zipser was ethnic German Saxonia, who immigrated since the Middle Ages to this area and to economic upswing help her. The castle plant belonged to largest Europe and was from 12. to 18. Century administrative seat of the Zips. After a small ascent we visit the plant. The planned guidance unfortunately precipitates, since it lies temporally too unfavorably and still waits on us a further highlight.
From the Zipser castle we forge ahead to the north. The planned way over a small passport becomes closed before our nose because of road repairs. The bypass ends in a dead end - thus back and blockage ignore. Everything goes smoothly. The way is somewhat holperig, but the road over the hills and by the forest is worthwhile itself. Our next stop is nearly because of the Polish border. With Cerveny Klastor we begin our small raft travel on the Dunajec. Our Guides a Vesper organized, which we clean on the way. The sun burns and my sun fire announces themselves. Tomorrow I will buy only times a cap, now must only times the t-Shirt as sun protection hold. The two raftsmen arrange our 2h travel much maintenance SAM. They speak one mix languages and pass in such a way the travel as in the flight.
Before the Polish border the travel is direct too ends and places themselves now the question, how one comes to the Bikes back. Mariam organizes a collecting taxi and goes in such a way it somewhat adventurously over the surrounding hills back to the parking lot, where we find our motorcycles intact. It is in former times afternoon and decides thus for Deniz still another small detour to make.
We drive a village to Vel'KaFrankova, completely from timber buildings and a length from nearly 12km. It consists only of a road, which ends in a dead end. Our Guide waits on the parking lot before the village and we undertakes a small inspection route. Who can afford it, here a house tries to build. The houses are very beautifully and everywhere enstehen new buildings. We return to the collecting point and agree from free driving up to the next meeting place. There we determine then, which is missing someone. We forgot nevertheless smoothly Joerg, which drove still far in that wood villages. Naturally white it not where we put, but owing to mobile phone that is not a problem. 10 minutes later Joerg us again caught up. Does not happen again.
It goes now without problems back into our mansion. So many impressions of a great day must be processed only once. The evening regards however still another highlight as us ready. We eat today in a Koliba. That is a rustikales gypsy restaurant with a large open grill in the center and typical Live music. I can only say: Ingeniously. The volume gave its best and we had an evening absolutely succeeded with Grillhuenchen and act arene dte. Or other beer of the barrel could not be missing naturally. Now still 15 minutes back run and simply into the bed fall.
