The second part of a beautiful hike in the Čergov Mountains in Slovakia. From the peak of Veľká Javorina we head east along the blue trail. We walk along the main ridge of the mountains through picturesque glades with views of the southern peaks of the Čergov Mountains and in the distance the Slanské Hills. At the crossroads of the Chochuľka trails we turn north and along the red trail through a beautifully colored forest we ascend Bukový vrch. We continue our hike further along the ridge of Bukový vrch to the north. We pass Šoltýsova Glade and reach the Žobrák lookout tower, from which there is a view of the Čergov Mountains and the Low Beskids. At the Žobrák Pass we turn west and return to the village of Kríže.
