A hike to Konské Hlavy
Meet Saturday, March 11 at 9:45 a.m. at Nivy Bus Station in Bratislava.
On Saturday, a group of foreigners will set out on a hiking adventure to Tri Kríže (Three Crosses), a little-known pilgrimage site, and Konské Hlavy (Horse Heads), a hill (649 m) above the village of Pernek, which is just across the Small Carpathians from the wine-making town of Pezinok.
Hikers should meet at the main bus station (Nivy) in Bratislava. The bus for Pernek leaves at 10:00 a.m. from Platform 19, and the hike proper will start at 10:55 a.m.
Tri Kríže will be the first stop, which is just a few minutes' walk from Pernek. The hike will then continue to Konské Hlavy, and finish in Pezinok. The route is around 16 kilometres long and should take about 5 hours to complete.
If you would like to go on the hike later, here's a route map.
From Pezinok, you can return to Bratislava by bus or by train.
