Little bit about us

What are STUPKY?
“Are your STUPKY hurting?” “They are!”
Stupky is our word for feet. It comes from the Polish “stopki,” which translates as heels. Thanks to our friend Paľo, who got it from his Polish friend when they were doing the SNP Trail, it 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, a few weeks later, invited him on a hike. We’ve been together ever since, hiking 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 from our comfort zone — and we still enjoy it.


Dávid
This is Dávid. Every now and then, posts from his trips show up here too. There are fewer of them, since he has 4 beautiful children and a wife. His adventurous spirit still pulls him to the mountains, which is why he loves running and hiking. If he has any time left, he prunes trees.
