Summer hike in the Malá Fatra Mountains. We set off from the mouth of the Kamenná Valley heading west. Initially, the trail leads through a picturesque valley of a seasonal stream. From the intersection of the Javorná trails, an intensive ascent leads to the Diaľna peak. Further along the side ridge of Minčol, we reach the Okopy Pass. On the pass, there is a cannon, which is a monument commemorating the battles with the German occupiers in April 1945. From the pass, along a scenic trail, we ascent to the Minčol peak, from which there is a magnificent panorama of the Kriváňská Malá Fatra, the Western Tatras, the Choč Mountains and the Great Fatra.
