Itinerary description

Easy hike along the forest road and the trail last 200 meters with panoramic view at the top. The shelter was restored and now is in the very good condition. Visitors leave there books, table games, playing card. At a glance I saw about 10 packs of playing cards! Some people leave their thoughts, feelings and emotions in poetry and prose in the log book. The atmosphere of the place provokes thoughts! Especially if you stay overnight.

The firewood shelter at the top was empty but there was huge pile of chopped firewood at the beginning of the trail. You can not miss it on your way up. There is also a wheelbarrow if you need more than couple of logs.

If you visit, please leave the place a bit better than you have found it!
