[The Greguše settlement](https://zpusteven.cz/en/osada-greguse) - The waymarks run above the settlement; from the junction a side path drops below the ridge to the log cottages and the bell tower at Gregušovci; return the same way.
6. [Brest u Papají](https://zpusteven.cz/en/brest-u-papaji) - 11 km from the start  
One of the oldest field elms in central Europe grows by a cottage in the U Papají settlement. The trunk has a girth of 676 cm, over 11 metres at the root buttresses. The tree is about 30 metres tall and its age is estimated at 400 years. Makov put it on its coat of arms - a golden elm with four roots for the four parts of the village.
