A "High Tatra Relaxation Walk" that becomes increasingly challenging from 1/3 of the length. Whether up or down, to the Ornak hut, about 2/3 of the way. There you can strengthen yourself excellently and from here the walk continues along the stream with refreshing, rushing water, relaxed. A highly recommended route.
