Discovering Slovakia: Inovec - Martina Repíková

Mountain range Považský Inovec is spreading along the river Váh between cities Piešťany and Trenčín. The area is favourite for hiking. There are several hiking routes around its highest peak Inovec, 1042 metres, but Bezovec (743 m) and Marhát (748 m) are also very popular for hiking. There are also some skiing areas on the sides of both, Bezovec and Inovec, and in Kalnica. Though these areas offer only a simple ski lift and almost no services, and so can not compete with Jasná or other popular skiing resorts. At the top of Inovec, there is a modern view-tower offering nice views of the countryside. The off-road climb up the hill starts at Chata pod Inovcom, then leads past the skiing slope higher into the forest. The view is nice, though.

V rámci jednej vikendovej prechádzky sme sa vybrali na Inovec. Naposledy som tam bola pred mnohými rokmi na lyžiarskom výcviku a veľa si z toho naozaj nepamätám. Iba, že svah sa mi zdal dosť strmý pre začiatočníkov. Od Chaty pod Inovcom viedla cestička hore na kopec práve popri tomto strmom svahu, potom kúsok cez les až ku rozhľadni, odkiaľ bol krásny výhľad. Veď sa pozrite sami.
