The second part of the summer hike in the Malá Fatra. We descend from the scenic peak of Minčol in the Lúčanská Fatra to the Okopy Pass and ascend the slightly lower peak of Malý Minčol located nearby. The peak of Malý Minčol is overgrown with dwarf pine, which is rare at this altitude. Heading north along the red trail, we conquer the peaks of Úplaz and Rázsošná in turn. We shorten the route by descending to the Saračníky Pass along a forest path not marked on the map. From the pass, we descend along the green trail to the mouth of the Kamenná dolina.
