Itinerary description

The stage begins at the Hruba Voda train station, where I finished yesterday, and I start walking on a small road that serves the town and the scattered houses. Little traffic and beautiful landscape, always following the blue sign.
At the point indicated by waypoint 040 I passed by another hotel with restaurant (the first in the same town of Hruba Voda).
Then the road becomes an asphalted road forbidden for the movement of vehicles and begins the ascent, steady but smooth, to leave the valley where I am, and that takes me to Pohorany. Before reaching this town, the paved track becomes a path with loose stone and even a few hundred meters practically a cross country but well signposted, to then reach another new track that is the one that already takes me to Pohorany.
At the entrance of the town, the road that I am following already converges with the officer I left yesterday in Domasov nad Bystrici, waypoint 041.
In Pohorany there is a restaurant bar, waypoint 042, but it only opens in the afternoon.
At the exit of the town, and after a brief cross country as the path has blurred, another path is caught again that already enters the forest again and, in descent, you reach Veska, where there is a sports center that It has a bar, waypoint 043, and this one was open but I passed by, my desire for beer had been removed.
You leave the road, walk a few hundred meters and again to the path and the forest, now uphill, until you reach Svali Kopecek, the holy mountain, already on the outskirts of Olomouc.
I passed by the zoo first, then there is an area of shops, bars and restaurants, where I ate in one of them, waypoint 044, and, after lunch, visit the basilica. Very beautiful although it was all in restoration.
After the visit, you will go down a wide path, which constitutes the Via Crucis pilgrimage to the basilica. At the end of this road, down below, there is a bar, waypoint 045, and a few meters beyond the houses begin on the outskirts of Olomouc and there is an urban bus stop, waypoint 046. There I finished the stage, I took the bus which took me to the train station, and there the tram to the hostel, Poets Corner, which is where the track ends, waypoint 047.
