Thank you for sharing your breath taking views. Slovakia looks like an excellent place to hike and explore. In the first and second pics there is a line/ rope appearing to hang from cliff face / bluff to bluff- do you know what is that about?

Its a rope that climbers use for something. The wall is quite popular with climbers.

Just a word of caution. I knew a NOLS climbing guide when I lived in Lander, WY that was killed when someone tossed a boulder of the top of a wall in the Wind River range. He simply wasn't aware there was a group of climbers below him. Sadly, left a widow and kids behind.

Fair point OlTrailDog. I was uncomfortable watching that part of the video (as awesome as it was). The video didn't show the end of the fall, I put my faith in the range being proved safe before dropping that tree. I hope it was.
