Forest educational trail Čierna Mláka

Forest educational trail and lookout tower:

The forest educational trail starts above the lake. It has the shape of a snowman and consists of three circuits of varying difficulty.

► 1st circuit FIR – difficult – length 1.9 km – elevation gain 100 m,  

► 2nd circuit BEECH – moderate – length 3.7 km – elevation gain 220m,

► 3rd circuit MAPLE – difficult – length 3.9 km – elevation gain 290 m.

The entrance to the educational trail is truly stylish – a wooden entrance gate with an information map with basic information about the trails. The trail is 4,460 meters long and features 18 stops. There is a wooden lookout tower at the tenth stop overlooking the Zborov Castle. There is also an information board with basic information about the castle, a stone terraced viewpoint overlooking the main ridge of the Čergov Mountains, St. Hubert’s Chapel, a monster emerging from the pond at Zimná studňa (Winter Well) and many other interesting objects. Benches, wells and a log fireplace are a matter of course.
