Cycle Trails 074 – Hostyn Hills 2  
(Forest Railway, Saint Hostyn, and the Bark Beetle Calamity)
07.02.2026

The Hostyn Hills are breathtaking. The vistas from the peaks are truly worth the effort. Don't expect any flat ridgelines here; it’s constant ups and downs. Families with kids will love the Rajnochovice Forest Railway, while a visit to Saint Hostyn and the Stations of the Cross will nourish everyone's soul. The descents are a challenge, and the climbs? They’ll really push you to your limit. Between the "lunar landscape" left by the bark beetle invasion and the dense forests that remain, the Hostyn Hills are simply awesome!
