Day 1 (July 9th)


Excellent breakfast at Hotel Skuritz, hiked from Bratislava´s old town joining the E8 directly in front of the American Embassy on a hill overlooking the city; must be one of the nicest spots in Bratislava. Lovely weather, beautiful scenery. Arrived at the TV tower too early for a snack, but the caretaker let us get water. The trail heads north through a large preserve, and lacking any good camping options we decided to push through to the first presumed available lodging at Penziska Baba, about 33 km of hiking altogether. Finally arrived at the ramshackle chata around 6 and collapsed after wienerschnitzel and beer. Storms all night.
