Záruby Junction

Highlight • Trail

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.

Záruby Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

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!

Ostrý Kameň Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

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!
