Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We started in Štefanová and hiked down to Bialy Potok- had a lift back to our car though in Štefanová- otherwise you would have to either go back or walk on the main road back to the car park which is unpleasant, far and potentially dangerous :-/
Diery were nice, with lots of wooden and metal bridges (ok for small dogs which can be held up, but with larger dogs might not be the best place).
Took us around 1h one way ;)
Lots of people, some unprepared tourists who can be super annoying, so please wear HIKING BOOTS not WHITE adidas as it’ll be muddy and slippery!

We did the small circle and it took about 2.5 hours. We did a bunch of stopping for pictures and videos. Amazing natural beauty. We loved it!
Hiking shoes can be a help in some areas where there is mud or in the stream. We wish we had brought our hiking poles also. But overall, it was not too hard or too muddy.

Our trip there was on sunny weekend, so as you may imagine, there were a lot of people. As for nature. It looks pretty great (see photos).
If you go there to see Janosikove diery you won't be dissappointed (although it may take a while), but if you only go through there and you main aim is to climb some mountain (velky rozsutec, or velky krivan) I strongly suggest to choose other, less crowded track.

A beautiful trail , with few track options. We did the blue-yellow-blue trail and it was nice though in some spots slippery. Highly recommended overall.

We had only one day so decided to do only 2 different routes out of 4.The ladders are very well maintained. The hiking was not very demanding, but some routes I would recommend only to families with kids over 5/6 years depending on ability of the child. Our boys aged 7 and 13 had no problem. The canyons are beautiful as well as all the forests and peaks around. We truly enjoyed our day and will be back soon.

Janosikove diery is very interesting and fun for adults and teenagers. Great nature. I do not recommend this trail with kids under 5, because some ladders are slippery.

The root is very beautiful. Lots to see on the way. Bridges and ladders over the water. Suitable for all the family.

Slowed down and took everything in - the lush greenery, the wet rocky walls, the streaming water. It was beautiful.

Not really a 'hike', as it's mostly pretty straightforward paths if you stick to the yellow route. The blue route is a bit more challenging, to the extent that we were glad of the chains anchored the rocks at tricky areas. At one point the trail disappeared altogether, becoming a boulder-filled stream -- i suspect that later in the season there may be less water, and easier travel. But a lot of fun, even though I think there must be a *lot* of tourist traffic in summer (there are warnings to negotiate circular routes one way, and be prepared for queues at bottlenecks).

Dear People,
We are planning our trip in Slovakia and I will be happy for clarifications regarding the Jánošíkove diery tour.
1. Can we go from the blue track to the green track at razc. Pod Pálenicou?
e.g. razc. Podžiar -> razc. Pod Pálenicou -> razc. Vrchpodžiar
2. Can we back on the yellow track from razc. Vrchpodžiar to razc. Podžiar on the way back to Biely Potok?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Michael

In Summer it will be extremely busy. It pays to hike early in the morning to avoid queues at the ladders. Cheers !

Greetings all--this looks like a beautiful place!
What are your recommendations for getting there on public transport from Bratislava? I would love to hike this park, but would need to know more about transport and lodging in the area. Happy to have your insights!

Hi there, as mentioned already - accommodation, B&B, hotels directly in Terchova would be suitable for your hiking demands :-) We ourselves stayed on Drevenice Resort Terchova. Have fun hiking :-)

Is it possible to hike on a rainy day?

Well, the ladders obviously get more slippery and dangerous in the rain. I guess you can walk the bottom part (Dolne Diery) but attempting further than that I think it's dangerous if you do not feel sure about being able to tackle it or not.

Hi, is there a way to hike without going through the ladders? We are a family of 3 children - 6.5, 8 and 2, and I'm quite anxious for them to fall....

Hi, unfortunately No. Because it is a tight valley, so there is no alternative. And yes, it is dangerous with such children. Some people do this with young kids, but it is not OK imo(me and my brother we were 10 and 8, thats minimum imo). Good is to go there, start the hike and when you will meet the first dangerous place for you, turn back... There is really no need to do the whole way up to see waterfalls and nature. The first 1,5 km is compleetly OK full of the beauties of nature(which are really great there! ) Good Luck:-)
