This is the stretch where the trail briefly leaves Slovakia: for several kilometres the marks run on the Czech side of the border, past U Betina javoru, Javořina and Březová. Signposts here are in Czech, the marks stay the same.
The White Carpathians are known for their orchid meadows, at their best in late May and June. A lookout tower on Lopeník is worth the short detour before the walk on to Mikulčin vrch.
