Bystrá Adventure – Climbing to Horné Lazy Tower & Lunch at Dedečkova Chata

Another day in Bystrá, Slovakia, and this time we traded hot tub for hiking boots! ???? Together with my sister Gabi, her husband Wojtek, their two little explorers Emilka and Ania , and of course Graz and me, we set off for an adventure starting near Bystrianska Cave.

The trail led us up through the forests of the Low Tatras to the Vyhliadková veža Horné Lazy – a beautiful metal viewing tower. From the top, the panorama was breathtaking: rolling hills, endless forests, and the Tatras stretching out in the distance. Even though the weather gave us a mix of dry paths and light showers, the views made every step worth it.

From there, we continued on to Dedečkova Chata, a cozy mountain hut where hikers refuel with hearty Slovak dishes. We enjoyed a tasty lunch, soaked up the mountain atmosphere, and then made our way back down to Chaletka.

The girls smashed the hike – small legs but huge energy – and we all had plenty of laughs along the way. Fresh air, family fun, and Slovak mountain charm all rolled into one day.

Bystrá really is a gateway to the southern Low Tatras – full of trails, caves, wildlife, and traditional wooden huts. Hiking here feels like stepping straight into a postcard. Slovakia, you keep on surprising us!
