A day in the Vsetínské vrchy

A day on the ridge of the Vsetínské vrchy on a single red waymarked route. From the bell tower on Čarták over Kotlová with the lost settlement of Jezerné to the meadows of Benešky, where nine species of orchid flower, and back the same way.

The red waymarks from Soláň to Benešky and back

≈ 6 h 20 min · 13 km

The car stays in the saddle by the bell tower and you return to it on the same waymarks – both directions are counted in the time and the distance. With a second car you can descend from Benešky to Horní Bečva on the blue waymarks instead.
