The educational trail of Jakub Surovec from Zbojská

The circular route begins and ends at the Zbojnícky dvor farm in the Zbojská saddle. First, it heads next to a lookout tower resembling a mill from the Perinbaba fairy tale, later to the left through a forest under the Remetisko hill with the cave of the same name, whose narrow entrance lies directly at the sidewalk. After a short descent through the valley, an underpass under the main road and the unique Čertov most viaduct, which is part of the cog railway line from Tisovec to Pohronská Polhora, passes through the underpass. Not far from this place, it offers a short detour to the entrance of the Devil's Cave. A few meters upstream of the Furmanec stream, the most attractive part of the nature trail begins, crossing the Devil's Valley reminiscent of the gorges of the Slovak Paradise. With the help of a secured path in the form of fixed ropes, iron risers and a steel footbridge, you cross the bed of a stream, which can be quite flooded during the rainy season.

The narrowest and most beautiful place of the gorge is called the Crust. He was named after the legendary bandit, who allegedly once ran through the gorge, fleeing from the ravages.

After a short ascent at the end of the secured route, you walk through the pastures until you reach the destination of the route, which was also its start. The route is approximately 5 km, with a transition time of 2-3 hours.

Our TIP :

About 100 meters before the finish, do not go around the Legendary Bouquet Shop.

In the bustling Salaša Zbojská-Zbojnícky dvor you can enjoy traditional Slovak dishes and dishes from homemade mutton. There is also the possibility of buying homemade cheeses and meat products, accommodation, or renting electric bikes to get to know the area better.
