Love swing in Komjatná

Reaching this swing involves a steeper climb from Komjatná via Hrdošová skala (Hrdoš Rock), so expect to work up a bit of a sweat, but the reward is a breathtaking view and a genuine adrenaline thrill. There is a fire pit with seating, so bring sausages or bacon to cook over the fire and make a real outing of it.

The route follows the green hiking trail and takes approximately one hour, heading along the ridge separating Komjatná from Žaškov towards a transmitter, through woodland and a clearing below Hrdoš, where hunting lookout towers can be found. From there, leave the marked trail and continue along a forest path on the opposite side of the lookout towers.

The walk takes around 30 minutes, and the final stretch can be slippery in wet weather.
