The cycle route begins at the exit of Hrabičov village. From the main road, turn right towards the tourist lodge Kollárová. Continue about 2 km down the asphalt road to the Ranch Blanc which offers refreshments. After about 3 km you will reach the most famous site on this cycle route - the Pokuty Bridge. It is a preserved remnant of a forest railway that used to cross this landscape, and is a popular place for a short rest. From the bridge, continue down the road until you reach the "Pavlova lúka" meadow. A short (4.5 km) circuit route begins here. We recommend you follow the route to the left.
