Day 19 (July 27)

Our hike through the Nízke Tatry range starts with a short day out of Donovaly, so we left after a hearty lunch -- perhaps a little too hearty; the hike was a bit more challenging than we expected for the afternoon. The rules in the Nízke Tatry are very strict: Camping only in eight official spots, no picking any fruits (too bad, blueberries look nice), and hiking allowed only from an hour after dawn to an hour before sunset. Still, we made it to the first legal camping spot, Hiadelske Sedlo, with time to spare. We met some young Slovak lads and bartered granola bars for fresh roasted mushrooms, which Deb finds delightful. (Maybe not everybody is so strict about following those rules.)
