SK, Orava – The Road to the Highest Summit
In our photogallery, we take you to the highest peak of the Oravska Magura – Mincol (1 394 m). We start at Vasilovska Hole near the village of Hrustin. Once we reach its peak we continue down the meadow till we reach forest. Forest paths take us up the ridge where Kubinska Hole, the highest summit of Oravska Magura, is situated. It is mostly known for a ski resort there which is located above the town of Dolny Kubin. Then we need to cross a short distance to reach Mincol and on our way we visit Puchmajer Lake.
