Is This Trip Right for You?
This very active trip covers a large amount of ground each day. Expect up to five hours of walking every touring day. The pace is moderate. On day 4 during the salt mine visit, you will experience small and cold spaces. Year-round temperature in the mines is 42 F, so warmer clothing is highly recommended. Visit to the salt mines is not recommended for people with claustrophobia. On day 5 the hike takes you across a hanging bridge with look through floor (not transparent but metal grid), located at 13 feet above the lake. Participants must be in excellent physical condition in order to keep up the pace on hikes. Advanced training is recommended prior to the trip. You will encounter some uneven surfaces, stairs, steep steps, unpaved and rocky terrain, as well as significant slopes. Walking sticks are recommended. Only "nature toilets" will be available during the hikes, due to limited access to bathroom facilities. We suggest you check with your healthcare provider before signing up for this tour.
