From the Arboretum to the quarry in 2 hours

Kysihýbel educational trail in Banský Studenec

This one-way waymarked loop, which takes 3.5 hours on foot, starts at the Kysihýbel Arboretum.

It leads through what was once the forest of Empress Elisabeth, better known as Sisi. According to some sources, she kept stables with horses here, as well as a wooden cottage that you can still spot today. At 14 stops you’ll learn about the natural, forestry and historical features of the area. One of the stops is the mysterious, hand-hewn underground chambers known as Barlangy. Be sure to pack a torch or head torch – the chambers are not lit.
