Batyżowiecka Próba, Mountain hiking trail in High Tatras, Slovakia.
The Batyżowiecka Próba route extends 12.95 kilometers through the Tatra Mountains, featuring an elevation gain of 1.54 kilometers from Vysne Hagy to Gerlach peak.
The first passage through Batyżowiecka Próba occurred in 1875 when mountain guides Ján Pastrnák and Ján Ruman Driečny junior established the initial climbing route.
The name Próba means test in Slovak, referring to the mandatory climbing assessment that mountaineers had to pass before attempting to reach Gerlach summit.
The trail requires approximately 12 hours to complete at an average speed of 1.08 kilometers per hour and includes both ascent and descent sections.
In 1880, the MKE organization installed 18 metal brackets and additional chains along the path to enhance safety measures for climbers.
