Trip Summary

Before breakfast, I woke up early and decided that the day was simply to nice to not get out and attempt a walk or hike. Heading westwards and into the Carpartian mountains right next to Smolenice, I first followed a nice forest road with a gentle inclination. Near the first saddle, I then decided that I could try to reach Záruby, a bit further in the northwest. The trail there was nice (and steep), but within a bit more than one hour, after departing from the castle, I found myself on top of the east-west oriented ridge, right east of the top of Záruby. After quickly visiting the very top, I then followed the ridge "back" (in eastward direction) to also include Havranica on my way back. After stepping over Havranica, I found a nice vista point with a great view towards the southeast. From Havrania skala, it then was back down through the forest and well within breakfast time I had made it back. What a great way to start the day! :-)
