Description

You can leave your vehicle in the large paid parking lot at Cervenohorske sedlo.

Then go to the entrance to the parking lot, and at the bus stop (in the direction of Kouty nad Desnou), cross the road carefully to the entrance to the forest road.

Despite the mandatory 50 km speed, be careful when crossing the road.

You will connect to the blue tourist sign towards the Skalni tabule signpost. After a few kilometers, you will find yourself on a beautiful forest path/bike path, which is not difficult.

At the U Vyrovky signpost, turn left into the forest, still following the blue tourist sign, towards the Kamzik signpost.

U Vyrovky signpost

The path to the Kamzik signpost leads uphill, through the forest, and then over a wooden walkway. The surroundings are often wet, even muddy.

Do not continue along the cycle path. You would get to the Petrovka signpost and you would significantly extend the route.

From Kamzik there are several views of Dlouhe strane - the upper reservoir (1354 m above sea level), Medvedi hrbet (1261 m above sea level) or Tupy vrch (1123 m above sea level).

From the Kamzik signpost, you will climb towards the Slate signpost.  The route leads along a rocky walkway and then over a wooden walkway around the peak of Velky Jezernik (1309 m above sea level).

After the Slate signpost, continue straight ahead, and behind the bend, the Svycarna tourist cottage will peek out at you. In nice weather, Praded can also be seen beautifully. Here you can relax, visit a restaurant or drink from the spring (if it is hearty enough).

Svycarna Cottage

Why is the cottage called Svycarna (Swiss)?

This question is something that puzzles everyone who appears at this cottage. Anyway, don't look for anything complicated about it. In short, once upon a time, still a shepherd's hut at that time, was inhabited by a Swiss shepherd (hence the name of the cottage).

The route will continue back to the Slate signpost, following the green tourist sign.

From here you will turn right towards Maly Jezernik (1208 m above sea level), following the red tourist sign, the so-called ridge. The route leads through the forest, again over a wooden walkway.

Velky Jezernik

The route then leads down a steep, almost rocky hill.

The route leads down a steep rocky hill. Be careful when descending!

From the signpost Pod Maly Jezernikem, a roughly 230-meter climb to the top of Vyrovka (1167 m above sea level) awaits you. The route leads over a steep hill with boulders.

Vyhlídka u Výrovky

From Vyrovka, only a slight descent awaits you. After the Klinovec signpost, you will walk through a beautiful forest for a while, and you will appear at the ski slope, from where you will see Cervenohorske sedlo.

Klinovec signpost

At Cervenohorské sedlo, or at the CHS - heliport signpost, turn left. You will appear at the place where you started the route. Carefully cross the road and you are back in the parking lot.
