The distance matches the route planned in Mapy.com; elevation gain and time are approximate. For hiking routes Mapy.com assumes a slower pace, so it may show a longer time.
Distances for the cross-country and ski-touring routes come from the trail operators, not from a route planner – a groomed track does not follow the summer path. Elevation and time are estimates.
