About

You wind your way through low mountain roads to start your hike out of the towns of either Huty (shorter hike) or Prosiek (complete trail), or drive and park in the Kvacianska Valley. The hike is a butt burner on the way up, then you hike down into a valley to get to the actual mill.

There are goats (mostly friendly, don't mind the horns) and a cat (will try and steal your sandwich) and it is pretty much self guided.

There is a donation box and a window with small souvenirs you can buy. It's so worth the hike!
