- Setting off at 11:00? Jeans? Music blaring from your speakers? Find out how to avoid embarrassing yourself (and getting into trouble) in the mountains. A short, no-nonsense guide.
- A sunny morning in Zakopane is the worst advisor when you are packing your backpack. See how the layering system works and why one clothing mistake can turn a summit hike into a nightmare.
- The time on a trail sign is not a verdict. See what stretches it in the Tatras, and how to plan a route with a safe margin so summer stays calm.
- See how to buy a TPN ticket online, pick the right entrance and time, and avoid queues, payment mistakes and the stress of sorting it out on the morning you set off.
