Safety

Last updated

This page is demo content for the fictional Trailmark. Replace it with your own safety notes.

Before you go

Check the mountain forecast every morning and tell someone your plan for the day. Snow can lie on the Low Tatras crest into June, and afternoon storms are common in summer.

On the ridges

There is no shelter from lightning on the high crest: if a storm builds, go down. Carry enough water; springs on the ridges can dry up in late summer.

In an emergency

Call mountain rescue on 18 300, or 112. Give your position from your phone’s map and the nearest signpost.

Ask the trail desk
