The Prieène Sedlo is located in the mountain range that separates the valleys Mala Studená Dolina (eastern side) and Vel’ká Studená Dolina (on the western side).
The trail leading up to the saddle on the Mala Studená Dolina side is very steep, because it is attached to a high angle slope. Using the provided chains that are attached to the stone is highly recommened.
Passing hikers from the other side is not always easy and can become very complicated in situations when an unexperienced hiker "freezes" in fear, unable to further climb up nor down and letting go of the chains.
The trail is not recommended to beginners or people who are afraid of heights. It is suggested to approach the saddle from the Mala Studená Valley side to climb up the steep slope, rather than down.
