1. [Pustevny](https://zpusteven.cz/en/pustevny) - start • 1 018 m a.s.l.  
At the Pustevny saddle, you can visit [Libušín](https://zpusteven.cz/en/libusin) and [Maměnka](https://zpusteven.cz/en/mamenka). You can get help with anything you need at the [Brána Pusteven information centre](https://zpusteven.cz/en/brana-pusteven). The car park is beside it, and scheduled buses stop there.  
blue waymarks • just under 2 km  
From the Pustevny saddle follow the blue waymarks towards Radhošť. The gently undulating ridge track passes the turning to the Cyrilka lookout pavilion and after just under 2 km reaches the Radegast statue.  
detour • 500 m from the saddle  
[The Cyrilka pavilion (a short detour)](https://zpusteven.cz/en/altan-cyrilka) - A short path branches off the ridge track just beyond the saddle and leads to the Cyrilka lookout pavilion of 1894. The pavilion is a protected cultural monument and the oldest building of the Pohorská jednota Radhošť mountain association on the ridge; in good conditions the view reaches as far as Slovakia.
2. [The Radegast statue](https://zpusteven.cz/en/socha-radegasta) - 1,5 km from the start • 1 105 m a.s.l.  
The statue was made in 1931 by Albín Polášek, a native of Frenštát. The one on the ridge is a granite replica from 1998 - the original is in the entrance hall of the town hall in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm.  
blue waymarks • 2.5 km  
From the statue carry on along the blue waymarks towards Radhošť. A few hundred metres below the summit, at the spot called Zaryje, you pass an information panel and a metal memorial plaque. They mark the place from which the foundation stone of the National Theatre in Prague was quarried. Together with a stone from Říp it stood for the unity of Moravia and Bohemia.
3. [Radhošť and the Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius](https://zpusteven.cz/en/radhost) - 4 km from the start • 1 129 m a.s.l.  
This stone chapel from 1898 is Czechia's highest religious building. A pilgrimage comes here in July, around the feast of the Slavic missionaries Cyril and Methodius.
