One of the more challenging routes of the region Malá Fatra is the cycle route over the hill Mravečník which starts in the Kysucká or Terchovská valley. If you select Terchová as a starting point, you will go along an about 1 km long asphalt road, then you will turn right and follow the blue marks toward Horná Tižina from where there is a steep rise to the village of Káčerovci. Further on, the green marks will take you to Vojenné where you can indulge in beautiful views of the Kysuce Highlands. Leaving the ridge, turn left and go up a slight climb until you get to the abandoned settlement called Koštúrovci. At the linden tree grove, the route slopes gently to the left following the yellow marks which take you along the forest road to the village of Lutiše. Blue-marked asphalt road leads to the saddle Lutiška where you have two options of how to continue. One of them is the ascent of the highest peak of this stage – Mravečník Hill – from which there is a steep technical downhill with a descent of more than 500 vertical meters on a 2.8 km long stretch. Less experienced bikers, however, are recommended to opt for the route through the saddle along the yellow marks to the village of Káčerovci. From this point you can quite quickly get back to Terchová.
