An easy day as we travel some flat land between mountain ranges. We pass by the monastery in Kreminke Bane that sits, according to someone´s calculations, at the exact center of Europe. Amazing crop of blueberries on our way up the gentle trail to the peak Skalka. We´re hoping to restock on food, but this is mainly a winter ski area and most things are closed for the season, or possibly permanently abandoned, hard to tell. Luckily there´s one hotel open, Horsky Hotel Minciar, and with Deb´s ever-improving Slovak and great negotiating skills, plus great help from the hotel staff, we´re able to aquire a couple days´ of excellent food.
