What are STUPKY?
“Do your stupky hurt?” “They do!”
Stupky is our own word for feet. It comes from the Polish stopki, which means heels. Thanks to our friend Paľo, who picked it up from his Polish friend while they were hiking the Slovak National Uprising Heroes Trail, it eventually made its way to us. And we’ve been using it ever since.
Mária & Jozef
This is us. Our story began when Mária bought a tent from Jozef and invited him on a hike a few weeks later. Since then, we’ve been walking together — across Slovakia, around the world, mostly in the mountains. People think we’re crazy because we go on multi‑day hikes, don’t shower, walk 40 km a day, stay far outside our comfort zone, and somehow still enjoy it.
Dávid
This is Dávid. From time to time, you’ll find posts from his travels here as well. There are fewer of them because he has four beautiful children and a wife. His adventurous spirit still pulls him into the mountains, so he loves running and hiking. And if he has any time left, he trims the trees.
