    Roadbook

    The trail is a combination of forest paths forming 2 basic circuits:

    Circuit A: starts at the entrance information panel (1), continues past the gazibo (2) and the bench of A. Plávka (3). After it passes the AQUA-VITAL park, the trail leads out of the forest into the area of the Spa. From there it joins up with the main road and after passing the Spa Hotel Choč, it returns back to the entrance panel (1). The total length of the Circuit A is 1 310 m.

    Circuit B: starts at the entrance information panel (1), continues past the gazibo (2) and the bench of A. Plávka (3) to the crossroad (5). Then the trail takes you up in gentle serpentines to the bench of D.Ševc (8) and the Chapel of St Anton Paduánsky (9). From there, it is only a short walk to the top of the Holý kopec hill (10) where you will find the bench of Tadeáš Salva (11), offering great views of the Low Tatras in nice weather. The trail then takes you back down to the gazibo (2). The total length of the Circuit B is 1 350 m.

    You can extend the length of both circuits an extra 600 m by turning to a pleasant forest path (from points 4 or 5), leading to the bench of J. Piťo (6) and the local waterworks (7). In addition to the starting point 1 (entrance information panel), you can access the trails of both circuits from points 4, 7, 10.
