Summary

Join us on a picturesque hike that combines movement, learning, and the joy of nature. Led by an experienced guide, the tour focuses on safe hiking and offers the perfect opportunity to escape everyday stress, breathe in the fresh air, and recharge your energy right in the heart of nature. The Cerová vrchovina are a truly unique area, unlike anything else in Slovakia. Its greatest treasure lies in the inanimate nature – a genuine geological open-air museum. Along the way, you will discover volcanic cones, exposed vents, as well as lava flows and plateaus that tell the fascinating story of the region’s volcanic past.

This hike is more than just exercise – it is a social adventure that blends hiking, discovery, and friendship. Come with us and enjoy a day filled with relaxation, knowledge, and unforgettable memories.

Before the event, all participants will attend a preparatory meeting to ensure everyone is ready and familiar with safe hiking practices. The main goal of this program is to inspire an active, mindful lifestyle, while encouraging hikers to look after both themselves and each other on the trail.
