Beneath the railway embankment in the Bala\u017eka-\u0160trembroch area, there used to be an old Jewish cemetery. Its establishment can be attributed to the arrival of the first Jews from Polish Galicia around 1813, and it remained in use until the end of the 19th century. Today, the cemetery no longer retains its original appearance, but an information board has been erected to mark the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking, the railway and the viewing tower on the Bal\u00e1\u017eka massif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The massif is flanked by the railway line, which in the eastern part divided the rock into the so-called \u201eLittle Rock and Big Rock\u201c. This created&nbsp;<strong>two basic tourist circuits<\/strong>. The Mal\u00e1 Skala circular walk offers a view from the cross. Here you\u2019ll find an Italian well, partisan trenches, a hunting hide and information boards. The Ve\u013ek\u00e1 skala circular trail follows the Bala\u017eka ridge; both trails are interconnected and have several junctions. In October 2019, the observation tower was officially opened \u2013&nbsp;<strong>Bala\u017eka Lookout Tower<\/strong>, which is 14 metres high and offers the most beautiful view of the whole of Lipany and the surrounding hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-masiv-a-rozhladna-na-balazke\">Source: Town of Lipany<br>Source of photographs: OOCR R\u0160<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5141,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"kategoria-poi":[107,176,100,175,25],"lokalita":[29],"sezona-poi":[12],"trvanie-vyletu":[180],"class_list":["post-2425","sport","type-sport","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-poi-turistika","kategoria-poi-letne-sporty","kategoria-poi-pre-rodiny","kategoria-poi-sporty","kategoria-poi-topky-regionu","lokalita-lipany-a-okolie","sezona-poi-celorocne","trvanie-vyletu-poldenne-vylety"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sport\/2425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sport"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/sport"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategoria-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-poi?post=2425"},{"taxonomy":"lokalita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lokalita?post=2425"},{"taxonomy":"sezona-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sezona-poi?post=2425"},{"taxonomy":"trvanie-vyletu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trvanie-vyletu?post=2425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
