Day 1: \u010cerven\u00fd Kame\u0148, Budmerice, and relaxation at Zochov\u00e1 cottage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Red stone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A guarantee of a comfortable weekend in the Little Carpathians is accommodation at Zoch's cottage<\/a><\/strong> in the area of Modra - Piesok. An exceptional feeling of comfort comes from the feng shui-style rooms and their connection with the surrounding beech forest, which adds an even more cozy dimension to the accommodation. Be sure to look forward to the excellent restaurant and wellness. Zoch's cottage serves as an ideal starting point for several hikes and trips across the Lesser Carpathian forests and their landmarks. As an alternative, you can also choose Hotel under Lipa<\/a><\/strong> right in Modra, with a swimming pool and equally high-quality services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our path will immediately lead to the central point of the surroundings of Modra and the entire Lesser Carpathians - to the castle Red stone<\/a><\/strong>, 14 kilometers from the cottage, and the route is best done by bicycle along the cycle path. However, feel free to go on foot or comfortably by car.<\/p>\n\n\n
