The adrenaline version is located on the top of Skalka, the other is a swing near the Pat\u00fach cottage, ideal for children.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n

The first of these, which is an unofficial attraction, can be reached by following the green tourist trail from the cultural center in Lietavsk\u00e1 Svinn\u00e1-Babkov. The ascent takes about an hour, leads through forests and meadows, but the climb is not difficult. You can swing at a height of about 30 meters, but only at your own risk. <\/p>\n\n

The swing consists of only a climbing rope and a piece of wood as a seat. If you dare and the weather is good, you will be offered a beautiful view of Lietava Castle. However, there is no buffet in the area, so bring snacks and water with you in your backpack. Or try the nearby \u017div\u00e1 voda spring. <\/p>\n\n

The swing at the Pat\u00fach cottage \u2013 that’s a different story. The surroundings are picturesque, with lakes and benches, and the swing is placed in a peaceful forest environment. The location is also easily accessible by bus. Get on at Lietavsk\u00e1 Svinn\u00e1-Babkova, and you can travel on one ticket with the IDS PLUS application. Get off at the Hor\u00e1re\u0148 bus stop and follow the gravel road to the swing. <\/p>\n\n

The place is part of the S\u00fa\u013eovsk\u00e9 vrchy (S\u00fa\u013eovsk\u00e9 vrchy) mountains. You can also take a stroller to the valley. In winter, when it freezes, the lakes turn into ice and the paved road is an ideal base for sledding. In spring, summer or autumn, it is worth taking a bike and making a longer or shorter ride. The valley to Pat\u00fachy is popular with locals, so if you like solitude, it is better to go here during the week or early in the morning. Then you will have the swing all to yourself. <\/p>\n\n

If you want to take a longer trip, continue along the gravel road. It will direct you to the Zby\u0148ovsk\u00e9 budzog\u00e1\u0148, or the Lost budzog\u00e1\u0148, an interesting natural rock formation and a unique feature in the S\u00fa\u013eovsk\u00e9 skaly, which you will not find anywhere else. And you can take a family photo there, which will turn into a beautiful memory of a family moment of well-being. <\/p>\n\n
