# Two days: two ridges

The Radhošť ridge on the first day, the Vsetínské vrchy on the second. Two different landscapes - a place of pilgrimage and grazing meadows - with a night in Rožnov between them.

## Day 1 - Pustevny and Radhošť

≈ 5 h 10 min · 8 km

The iconic ridge, with the lodges, Radegast and the chapel - that whole day has a page of its own.
