Slovak Karst — Attraction in Brzotín

The tourist routes got all the signs with different colours so easy to follow the choosed one.

We did the trip from Zádiel along the valley. Approximately 3km from the village you can find a lovely "pub" with a friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Than you can go up to the hill through the "castle" which really worth the visit. From the castle you get an easy access to return back to Turna ~20-30min.

If you choose this way the hole trip takes around 5-6 hours and 16,8km.

With a medium strength it's easy to complete but not impossible to do it with elderly people and children.

The only thing is bear in mind the rocky surface towards the castle which in my opinion is the "hardest" part of the trip!

Just take your time and no rush at all!!
