Orlová - Hradište

The route starts on the main road in Orlovo (part of Považská Bystrica) at the intersection with the important Vážská cycle highway. Another important route starts at the nearby traffic lights - the Rajecká cycle highway (no. 026). Our yellow route enters the village in a narrow street and continues along the asphalt road past the baroque mansion, known as the historic Hotel Gino Park Palace**** in Orlovo . After the village, the road turns into a paved forest road, and gradually climbing through a beautiful forest, we reach the top of the climb to Lopatina, where there is a junction of several hiking trails. One of them (yellow) also leads to the ruins of Považ castle. However, we continue on the forest path with a gentle descent through the Uhra estate to the Klapa saddle. As the name suggests, we will have a view of the beautiful natural massif of Klapy. The route continues with a slight descent through the meadow, from where we have a good view of the beauty of the local nature, up to the cross, where we cross the green route no. 5312. The route ends here, but we recommend going to the nearby village of Jasenica, where you can recharge your batteries for further cycling tours or take a look at the beautifully renovated mansion.
