Time Machine: mountain hiking in Poland 1963-1976

Sorting through family documents I came across old hiking log-books (Książeczki GOT PTTK): twelve multi-day mountain treks in southern Poland and one in Slovakia from 1963 to 1976, and a series of day-hikes in Tatra Mountains in 1964 and 1970. Over 1500km and many major mountain peaks hiked. The map traces roughly connect 30-50 waypoints recorded for each set/trek. We mostly followed established hiking trails and used public transportation only occasionally. Many local roads were still quite walkable, some were not even built yet. I remember quite a few names on the map, some viewes and events, but it is all very fuzzy.
