Together with thirty participants, we set off from Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica and by bus we got through difficult terrain to the mountain hotel Kr\u00e1\u013eova stud\u0148a.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After a short welcome, we introduced the participants to the program of Swiss-Slovak cooperation and that it was thanks to the second Swiss contribution that we were able to organize this event. Subsequently, a guided walk through the area began. The route was easy and suitable for all ages, led through beautiful natural scenery and important places in the locality.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The hiking trail took us to the Kr\u00e1\u013eova stud\u0148a spring and higher to the source of the Bystrica River. \u202fHere you will find a resting place with benches and a beautiful view of the Kr\u00e1\u013eova Rock or Camel Rock. From the Kr\u00e1\u013eova stud\u0148a spring, you can continue along the red trail to Kr\u00ed\u017ena or along the yellow trail to the mouth of the Dedo\u0161ova valley and from there to the Gadersk\u00e1 valley and the village of Blatnica. But we still went to the opposite side &#8211; along the trail to the symbolic cemetery of the victims of the mountains in the Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra and the SNP memorial. On the way to the monuments, we could see the beauty of the ridge of the Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra and also the highest peak of Ostredok or the hill of Kr\u00ed\u017ena.      <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5874 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/en\/how-did-the-day-with-the-expert-at-kralova-studna-go\/dsc_6770-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6770-500x333.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"DSC 6770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6770-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6770-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6770-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6770-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6770-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/en\/how-did-the-day-with-the-expert-at-kralova-studna-go\/dsc_6709-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6709-500x333.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"DSC 6709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6709-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6709-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6709-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6709-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/npvelkafatra.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_6709-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW132385845 BCX8\" lang=\"SK-SK\" data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"SK-SK\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW132385845 BCX8\">Throughout the route, experts explained various aspects of the landscape to the participants \u2013 from its geological structure through plant communities to human interventions in nature in the past and present.
