Wielicka Próba, Mountain trail segment in High Tatras, Slovakia.
The Wielicka Próba section rises through a steep rock face at 1980 meters elevation, offering passage toward the summit of Gerlach peak.
The first documented ascent of this trail section occurred on August 31, 1874, with climbers Mór Déchy, Anton Döller, and their companions.
The trail marks a traditional mountaineering passage in the Slovak Tatras, requiring skilled navigation and adherence to local climbing regulations.
Access to this trail segment necessitates a certified mountain guide, as independent climbing is prohibited without specific permits and mountaineering club membership.
Metal clamps remain the sole climbing aids on this route after the mysterious disappearance of supporting chains in 2004.
