The trail from the Demänovská Cave of Liberty to the top of Siná (1,560 m) is a popular trek through the Low Tatras. At the summit, hikers are rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the Demänovská Valley, the Liptov region, and the encircling mountain ranges. It is accessible throughout the year.
The trail begins at the car park near the Demänovská Cave of Liberty (around 870 m above sea level). From there, follow the yellow trail towards Siná. The path starts with a gentle climb through forested terrain, passing by meadows and small rocky outcrops. The yellow markers lead you to the Bôrová hoľa crossroads (1,316 m), a perfect place to pause for a short rest or refreshment. From this point, the yellow trail becomes progressively steeper, winding its way through dense woodland that gradually begins to open up.
The final section of the climb is more demanding, passing over rocky terrain. Caution is advised, especially in wet weather, as the rocks can be slippery. After roughly two to three hours (depending on how fit you are), you reach the summit of Siná (1,560 m), offering panoramic views:
- To the north, the Liptov Basin and the Western Tatras unfold before you.
- To the south, the peaks of the Low Tatras stretch into the distance.
Return by the same route, following the yellow trail back to the Demänovská Cave of Liberty. The entire trek takes approximately four to five hours and is of moderate difficulty.
