The German narrator and poet Reinhold BRAUN (1879-1959) recommended in the following poem a deep, blissful summit rest for the mountain hiker: „Some climb mountains in a hurry and take too short a summit rest and see neither beauty nor sunshine, they just want to have been 'up there', and return with everyday senses and outlook to the valleys of life. Do you truly want to be blessed, your soul to wander bright and pure: Enjoy what you have hiked, in a deep, blissful summit rest!“

Highest point in the Malý Karpaty, but not the best views.

On the way to the top of Záruby in the Little Carpathians, you will pass several signposts and crossroads. They are very well marked. The path from the Drina cave to the top of Záruby is quite difficult. We sweated a lot.

This is a very beautiful ruin, which you can also commit. There is a great view and the opportunity to take a break. From here you can continue along the ridge path to Zaruby. But you should be sure-footed and you need suitable shoes!

The ascent over the Kammweg was quite difficult. Unfortunately there are no distant views because of the tall trees. It was a really great experience to hike the highest mountain of the Little Carpathians!
