    A circuit with several challenging climbs, but also a relaxed ride along the Upper Hodruša ravine. Expect many stops to enjoy epic views and swimming in the Kopanice pond.

    You can start the circuit at any entry point. If it is Vyhne, you can finish in the whirlpool or pool of the local Water Paradise. Along the route, you can refresh yourself at the cultural-tourist center Hájovňa, at the buffet above the lake in Kopanice, at the Daro hotel in Hodruša, or in one of the guesthouses in Vyhne.

    From Červená studňa, we ride about 10 km almost flat along the undulating trail of the Upper Hodruša ravine. In Kopanice, we can swim in the Moderštôlňa pond. After descending into Hodruša, the first challenging climb awaits to the Vrchy homestead, then we continue through a forested climb to Water Paradise Vyhne. From the village, you must climb to a mountain ridge dotted with meadows offering many views. The difficult climbs lead us to the intersection Pri Novom kríži, with the bizarre Marcus castle. The flat terrain is replaced by another physical climb to Bartkov majere. The hardest part is behind us, so let's gather strength and head along the yellow trail to Goldberg peak to enjoy the panoramic view. After descending from Goldberg, we continue over rolling meadow terrain back to Červená studňa, where the hospitable Hájovňa awaits us.

    Author’s recommendation

    The route is enjoyed by those who thrive on challenging climbs. If you are not in this category, you can complete it as a full-day trip, but you will often have to push your bike. Still, you need to find the right balance – you must have good fitness.
