Trenčín's spring hikes

THREE long-distance hiking competitions will be held in the Trenčín region on May 10 and May 17.

These events will take place on well-marked trails in the surrounding mountains. There will be several check points along the routes, which hikers must visit in order to claim a commemorative pin and usually refreshments at the end of the hike. The fee for an adult for each hike is around Sk30. Some of the hikes finish at a different place from the start, and shuttle buses will be provided to transport people back to the beginning.

On May 10, hikers can choose between a 35-kilometre and 50-kilometre hike. The first one, Soblahovská tridsaťpäťka (Soblahov's 35) begins at the Soblahov Stadium near the elementary school (Základná škola) in the village of Soblahov.
