Derived from distance and ascent, not terrain grade — not a SAC or T-scale rating.

The red waymark runs the length of Slovakia, from the Dukla Pass on the Polish border to the rock at Devín. Eight mountain ranges, most of it on the ridge. Long forest days, and stretches where the next roof is more than a day's walk away.
