Tiring but very nice hike!
Ascending the Otrhance ridge is strenous and in the lower part route finding is somewhat difficult, due to many fallen trees and sometimes missing/aged trail marking (offline map on a device that shows your position by GPS comes handy). Once you get above the treeline, the trail becomes clearer to follow, and the terrain gets more rugged with great views to the East and West. There are a couple of ups en route to Jakubina, devote a full day for a round-trip invliving any of the neighbouring valleys.

Nice
First 1,5-2 hours quite steep, than the endless ridge... but really nice panorama, few people, worth hiking up!
My daughter Hanna had picked this trail - while studying the map - as one of the most promising in this area, and it turned out she was right. We set off from Pribylina, onto the ridge of Otrhance and returned via the Rackova valley.
I made my career high single day altitude gain at that day - 2200 altitude metres. Our route: Ziarska valley - Smutne sedlo - Placlivy Rohac - Ostry Rohac - Volovec - Derava - Hruby vrch - Jakubina (highest point of the trip) - Otrhance - Rackova valley. It was warm summer day.
