⚠️ Warning! Winter conditions in the mountains do not ease even in May. There is 10–30 cm of snow on the ridges.
Our route starts in Ramzova. You can park your car either in the free parking lot right next to the cable car. If it is busy, you can park your car in a large, unfortunately already paid parking lot.
Follow the green tourist sign towards the Vrazedny potok (brook). A beautiful white rocky route will lead you.
Once you cross the creek, you will go slightly downhill. After 400 meters, don't forget to turn right up the hill. Do not continue straight ahead, otherwise you will find yourself on a forest road in Ramzova.
After 700 meters you will reach the Vrazedny potok (brook), or rather the dam over which you will cross the stream. However, a steep path leads to the dam first.
The brook got its name from the time of the sad Thirty Years' War, when the inhabitants of the Kolstejn estate (today's nearby Branna) were hiding in the local forests below Serak. However, it was tracked down by Swedish soldiers and murdered.
Then there is about 1.5 kilometers long and beautiful route in the valley, along the Vrazedny potok (brook) and under the rocks.
The route weaves together a forest path, a rocky route, but also a route overgrown with roots. At the end, you will cross the stream over a wooden footbridge.
Subsequently, after a short climb, you will appear on the cycle route. Head left.
As soon as you see the shelter, just before it, at the signpost Pod Obrimi skalami, you will follow the blue tourist route to the right. A steep climb along a rocky route awaits you.
After a challenging route, the Obri skaly will peek out at you together with a shelter. It is a group of rocks with a height of 10–16 meters lying on the northwest ridge of Serak.
You can take a closer look at the Obri skaly. A route along the rocks on the left leads to them.
According to legend, the formation of the group of rocks is due to the giant Amik, who was convinced that he was stronger than the giant from the neighborhood. They made a bet on who could throw a huge boulder next. The Amik threw the rock far, but his neighbor threw it even farther. The loss made Amik so angry that he cut his boulder in half, which fell under the top of Serak.
From the signpost at the Obri skaly, follow the blue tourist sign, towards the boulder across the road.
A 250-meter vertical climb in the forest awaits you. The route is challenging, full of roots and stones. From the forest there is a beautiful view of the Obri skaly.
The path then continues along the red tourist sign in the direction of Cernava. Although the route is marked as a cycling route, it is also quite demanding for hikers.
Finally, you will reach a crossroads where the route crosses with 5 other routes. Continue straight along the red tourist sign. After a few meters you will appear at the cable car in Cernava.
Then there is only an easy way, down a relatively steep hill, to the parking lot.However, along the way you will walk through a beautiful forest, around the magical well Dobra Voda, with an even more magical chapel.
