The National Nature Reserve extends across three cadastral areas and three districts: the Bardejov district \u2013 Livovsk\u00e1 Huta, the Sabinov district \u2013 Brezovi\u010dka, and the Star\u00e1 \u013dubov\u0148a district \u2013 the village of Kyjov. The reserve was established to protect the typical Carpathian mountain flora, featuring elements of the Eastern Carpathians and the forest communities of the highest elevations of the \u010cergov Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking in the heart of \u010cergov<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hike to the highest point <a href=\"https:\/\/pohoriecergov.sk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u010cergova<\/a> \u2013 Min\u010dol, at an altitude of 1,157.2 metres above sea level, is a popular tourist destination where, every year, tourists and non-tourists from four districts \u2013 Star\u00e1 \u013dubov\u0148a, Bardejov, Sabinov and Pre\u0161ov \u2013 for an event known as the \u2018Meeting of the Four Districts at Min\u010dol\u2019. With the exception of two more challenging steep sections, the route is relatively easy, as much of it follows a tarmac road. It is nine kilometres long and takes approximately three hours to complete. At the start of the route, it is worth taking a detour to the remains of the imposing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/historia\/hrad-kamenica\/\" data-type=\"historia\" data-id=\"2064\">Kamenick\u00fd castle<\/a>\u00a0with a beautiful circular view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route to Min\u010dol Hill winds through lovely forests and offers some pleasant spots to rest. One of these is just beyond the village, near Kamenica Farm, where, amongst other things, you can buy homemade sheep\u2019s milk products. Another rest spot is by the mountain hut below Min\u010dol, above which there is a spring, but the bench at the summit, with its magnificent views, is certainly a good place to rest too. There is a very impressive view of Sokolia Rock towering above the valley, which is clearly visible throughout the entire walk. The panoramic views continue along the entire ridge as far as the summit of Min\u010dol, from where Kamenick\u00fd Castle can also be seen. From the summit, you can continue northwards to the villages of Obru\u010dn\u00e9, \u010cir\u010d or Bardejov, or take the ridge trail in the opposite direction towards the \u010cergov mountain hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source of photographs: OOCR R\u0160<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2337,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"kategoria-poi":[102,107],"lokalita":[29],"sezona-poi":[12],"trvanie-vyletu":[114],"class_list":["post-2846","prirodne-krasy","type-prirodne-krasy","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-poi-prirodne-krasy","kategoria-poi-turistika","lokalita-lipany-a-okolie","sezona-poi-celorocne","trvanie-vyletu-celodenne-vylety"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prirodne-krasy\/2846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prirodne-krasy"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prirodne-krasy"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategoria-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-poi?post=2846"},{"taxonomy":"lokalita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lokalita?post=2846"},{"taxonomy":"sezona-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sezona-poi?post=2846"},{"taxonomy":"trvanie-vyletu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trvanie-vyletu?post=2846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
