hills for pensioners

The natural conditions of the hills you can read trekking knowledgeable and detailed descriptions in other parts of this site. I will start with a slightly different topic, namely public transport in this part of Slovakia. This fact is quite problematic.

The most preferred place for getting a seat Šturec small, but already there for years for unknown reasons buses are built for. From the same unknown causes canceled our Slovak brothers station in Čremošná. Thus, there is a station with the staff, as we discovered on the way there, just simply not built to change trains. One possible transport by bus with output to stop Cremosne - black water, but in the end we chose as the starting point Turček, as when traveling with bulky backpack train is simply best.
On Friday afternoon we therefore spitting on a tiny train "station". We meet to own lands Turček, where we find that the beer will not start because the pub and shop are closed. Newly marked in blue marker leads us past the church and then through meadows and forests that eventually led us to the forest asphalt road leading over a pond Turček. It was completed in 1996 as a reservoir for drinking water.
Beware of bears

Along the way, then continue to the crossroads cold trough or Kaltrin, which separates the yellow sign that points to Kordícke saddle. My but in the summer heat we go after blue wide valley to a place called Štrich where I have scheduled the first bed, because it is above the water.
The Flochové

Set the first snag when we find that the building where my information is put to sleep on land inhabited by coachmen who download wood. In addition, it monitors very angry giant čuvač, which is indeed chained, but quite long. But there is a nearby hunting lodge with a veranda just for two.

Our joy unfortunately lasts only until the moment when the car arrives to the huntsman and his partner, who settle in the cottage. Porch collapses, but "home" does not matter when you set up a tent on a single flat place behind the cabin, with the proviso that it must not be seen from the road. The following is the traditional warning of bears and they leave with a rifle and a blanket somewhere to wait. We cook the evening and go to sleep.

Although the Bears did not attack us, but Martin all night hunting headlamp kind of intruder. In the morning, we find that our horde attacked some rodents who, although in my litter box with food penetrate, but his partner got drunk and got bread and pasta. Nothing like a hermetic seal food!
Flochová

We pack and go from the blue Strich up. The trail soon departs from the forest path into the woods and goes quite steeply in the not too pleasant muddy terrain. The advantage is that the meters height gain relatively swiftly, so unexpectedly quickly get into the field more enjoyable and ultimately down to the crossroads with a red comb brand.
