Wandering around Hrčava

To the three-border meeting point : 5 km
Take the yellow- marked path from the centre of the village to the place where the borders of three countries meet. The exact spot is marked by the three granite monoliths and nearby is a shelter to rest in. There is a new border crossing open on the tourist path with Poland, cross it and take green-marked path to Jaworzynka. After about one kilometer get to a final bus stop. There is a shop and a pub with outer seating. Refreshed take the green-marked path to the Hrčava / Jaworzynka border crossing, then take the yellow -marked path back to Hrčava. At the edge of Hrčava village we can use the terrace of the pub Na vyhlídce and before we reach back to the starting point we can enjoy the look of the wooden church of St. Cyril and Methodius.

In the footsteps of history: 2 km
After the refreshments in the village inns, carry on to the so called 'Lourdes cave', where the springs are said to heal eye ailments, with its stone altar and Madonna. The access route is marked by the playground where the roads enter the village. Then head uphill along the yellow-marked path to the regional mini-museum in the building of the primary school, and visit the wooden church of St Cyril and Methodius (1926). Mr. Vojkovsky is the guide; more information available in the village shop. On 5 July every year the church hosts the Cyril and Methodius pilgrimage.
