The trail starts at the yellow marker that is leading to the local Calvary and continuing onto the well-known meadows of Vlkolínske Lúky where you can admire the majestic rock formations and the surrounding mountains. A slight climb will lead us to the jewel of the entire region protected by UNESCO – Vlkolínec. This historical area is a sought-after place for tourists from around the world. We are returning back along the same trail to the car park in Hrabovo.
There is no bus in the town of Ružomerok running to Hrabovo. However, tourists can get there by using the B Line Cyklo & Aqua Bus Liptov. These buses connect all major tourist centers and water parks in Liptov and thanks to them, cyclists, tourists and visitors to Liptov can travel for free if holding the LIPTOV Region Card. The bus stop is located directly at the car park where the hiking trail starts too. The parking space is sufficient.
You can pass the night either in the valley of Hrabovská Dolina or at Malinô Brdo or directly in wooden huts and cottages in Vlkolínec. All the three places offer refreshments during your hike.
