They will get off at Vývojová, and walk to Rusovce, where everyone can take a little time to relax, then take the Yellow hiking trail to Čunovo. You can stay there as long as you like, as there are buses back to town every 20 mins from the stop at Čunovské jazerá.

The trail is flat, pretty short, and there are lakes in between.

See the map for the hike below.
