All roads lead to Z\u00e1ruby mountain!
Expect one.
The Trnavsk\u00e1 stovka long trail avoids Z\u00e1ruby.
Don\u00b4t be disturbed by the name, this 100 km long trail goes nowhere near Trnava.
It is one of the oldest organized long trails in Slovakia. Since 1973, at the beginning of summer, on a special
Saturday, at 6:00 a.m., keen hikers start from Bratislava on a pilgrimage through the Small Carpathians to
Brezov\u00e1 pod Bradlom. Here a barrow is situated, the final place of rest of the great son of the Slovak nation
and ultimate hero – General Milan Rastislav \u0160tef\u00e1nik. Most of the trail follows the red marked hiking path,
the \u0160tef\u00e1nikov\u00e1 magistr\u00e1la.
It is 100 km with a change of elevation of 3,309 m, which should be completed within 26 hours. A challenge
for all curious tourists!
The Small Carpathians cycling road mirrors the Small Carpathians. It starts in Nov\u00e9 Mesto nad V\u00e1hom, leads
through \u010cachtice, Vrbov\u00e9, Trst\u00edn, Bukov\u00e1, Pernek, Kuchy\u0148a, Lozorno, and ends in Vysok\u00e1 pri Morave. 105
km. A challenge for all powerful cyclists!
The KarpatyRun is the biggest trail race in Bratislava, the festival of forest run, 5 trails from 5 to 45 km.
A challenge for all keen runners!
And what about Z\u00e1ruby mountain?
The 768 m high, tallest peak of the Small Carpathians, is accessible from Smolenice. From the fairy-tale
Smolenice castle, surrounded by its charming English garden, the marked hiking paths will lead you through
the Hlbo\u010da gorge, passing the only waterfall in the Small Carpathians, Ob\u010dasn\u00fd vodop\u00e1d, and the only
accessible cave in the Small Carpathians, the Driny cave, and thought the \u010certov \u017e\u013eab gorge to the summit.
And from the west, the marked hiking path to Z\u00e1ruby mountain starts on the banks of Bukov\u00e1 water
reservoir.
The route through the forest, reminiscent of a jungle, which in spring changes into a white carpet of
snowdrops with green borders of wild garlic, varies into a steep hike ending in front of the gate to the
highest castle of the Small Carpathians, Ostr\u00fd Kame\u0148 castle.
A dark atmosphere of the ruin, hidden deep among the trees, and huddled on the cliffs of the western
limestone ridge of the Small Carpathians, only silently proclaims its famous history.
The castle was built in the 13th century as one of the border castles protecting the main trade route from
Bud\u00edn through the pass to the Bohemia, known as a \u201eBohemian trade route\u201c.
According to legend, under the castle a jealous widow used to live. She was very malefic and hated
everyone who had more than she. Once she found herself near Ostr\u00fd kame\u0148 castle and discovered a room
full of gold. But she didn\u00b4t see an old man, the protector of the gold. She wanted it all for herself. Suddenly
the earth stared to shake, and everything, including the lady maleficent, was covered wiht clay. She was
never seen again.
The ridge, first rocky, then turning to forest, leads from the castle to Z\u00e1ruby mountain. While it maybe the
highest mountain of the Small Carpathians, it is nonetheless overshadowed by the fame of its glorious
sisters, Vysok\u00e1 and V\u00e1penn\u00e1 mountains.
The Small Carpathians are not as high or majestic as the High Tatras. Their beauty is modest and
unexpected, diamonds in the rough. They are a paradise for rolling cyclists and rambling hikers, tired, but
happy runners, searching explorers of deer, history lovers, mushroom-pickers and herbalists.
When you run six times to Z\u00e1ruby mountain from the \u010certov \u017e\u013eab gorge, you will reach the height of Mount
Everest. It is called the Small Carpathians Everest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we ran the KarpatyRun for the first time, with the few fiery trail runners, among the slim and high
beeches, and wrinkled oaks, we felt enormous joy. Even as we ended last.
The Small Carpathians are always full of joy. Maybe they are not a\u00a0love at first sight. But they are a love for
an entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
