Hrabovo Valley<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hrabovo Valley \u2013 is one of Ru\u017eomberok\u2019s most popular spots for a day out. The valley is home to the lower station of the cable car up to Malin\u00f4 Brdo, and there is plenty to keep visitors busy closer to ground level too: restaurants, caf\u00e9s, snack bars, accommodation and a whole host of activities centred around the reservoir, from a rope park and zipline to off-road scooters and mountain carts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
