A trip called\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/podujatie\/divokou-prirodou-cergova\/\" data-type=\"podujatie\" data-id=\"5683\">Through the wilds of \u010cergov<\/a><\/strong> It offered not only an enjoyable hike, but above all the chance to get to know the \u0160ari\u0161 countryside better, its inhabitants and the traces they leave behind in the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event began at the \u010cergov Chalet, from where we set off on a route of approximately 9 kilometres. The route took us along forest tracks, through meadows and along the ridge <a href=\"https:\/\/pohoriecergov.sk\/en\/\">\u010cergova<\/a> towards Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Javorina. The easy terrain and gentle inclines created the ideal conditions for a leisurely walk for nature lovers. There were also stretches where the truly wild side of \u010cergov\u2019s countryside came to the fore.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/divocina-cergova-2-oocrrs-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5992\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the Forest Begins to Speak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trip wasn\u2019t just about the hiking itself. The guide\u00a0<strong>Du\u0161an Guman from Medvedia cesta<\/strong>\u00a0During our walk, he introduced us to the secrets of the forest. We learnt lots of interesting facts about its inhabitants, learnt to recognise the sounds of the forest and animal tracks, and gradually realised that the forest around us is much more alive than it might seem at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather was on our side throughout the hike. From the ridge, we could see the peak the whole time\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/sport\/ski-lysa-1-067-m-n-m\/\" data-type=\"sport\" data-id=\"2467\">Lys\u00e1<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and the sun\u2019s rays further enhanced the atmosphere of a summer\u2019s day spent in the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/divocinou-cergova-9-oocrrs-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5993\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A visit to the rare forest in the Vl\u010dia Nature Reserve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to\u00a0<strong>The Vl\u010dia Private Nature Reserve<\/strong>, which is managed by\u00a0<strong>The VLK Forest Conservation Group<\/strong>. This is an area where some of the oldest and rarest forests have been preserved <a href=\"https:\/\/pohoriecergov.sk\/en\/\">\u010cergova<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is precisely places like these that remind us of the importance of protecting natural forests and the need to view nature not only as a place to relax, but also as a home to a wealth of plants and animals. Thanks in part to the expert commentary, we were able to see this part of \u010cergov in a slightly different light.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/divocina-cergova-4-oocrrs-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5994\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We all managed it \u2013 even the four-legged participants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All the participants enjoyed the trip, and proof that the route was manageable even for four-legged hikers was our friend Pampi, who, together with her owner Matej, completed the entire route with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end, a certificate and a medal awaited everyone who had successfully completed the hike. However, they were not merely a symbolic reward for the kilometres covered. They served as a reminder of the shared experience, the new insights gained and a day spent in the countryside in good company.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/divocina-cergova-6-oocrrs-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5996\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank you for the day we spent together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A big thank you goes to\u00a0<strong>to our guide, Du\u0161an Guman<\/strong>\u00a0for organising the event, the informative and engaging commentary, and the pleasant atmosphere throughout the trip.
