A hike to Medené Hámre
Saturday, April 22 at 8:55 at Nivy bus station, Bratislava
This Saturday hikers meet at 8:55 at the Nivy bus station in Bratislava for the 219 bus that takes off at 9:07. They will arrive at Borinka at 9:56 and start the hike at 10 from there.
First, they will take the red trail up the hill, then turn off across the country to the first viewpoint above Medené Hámre. Then, they will head across the ridge to climb down to the valley where they head up the other side to the next stop - the cave at Jaskyňa Notre Dame.
The next destination of the hike will be the top of Strmina, down the other side, walk to Biely Kríž and finally back to Rača, where public transport can take you back to the city centre.
The whole trip should be around 16 km and should take approximately five hours.
If you would like to go on a hike later, here's the map.
