A beautiful hike in the Čergov Mountains in Slovakia. From Kríže we ascend Veľká Javorina, one of the most attractive peaks of this mountain range. The green trail initially leads through the valley of the Solisko Stream, decorated with amazing autumn colours. After crossing the stream, we ascend the vast Vyšný lán mountain pasture with views of the Žobrák ridge and, on the other side, the Čierna jedlina hills. Then the trail leads through a colourful forest to the Panteliš peak. Behind the peak, there are long, extensive glades with views to the east of the Bukový vrch massif and to the north of the Poprad Foothills and the Sącz Beskid Mountains. We continue south, reaching the Lysina Pass, from which there are distant views of the High and Low Tatras. From the pass, along a scenic ridge, we ascend Veľká Javorina, which does not offer any views from the summit, but from the glades below the summit, you can feast your eyes on a magnificent landscape.
