Measured from the map; walking time by the standard hiking formula, without breaks.

Almost a thousand metres of descent and only two hundred of climbing: a gentle day after the Ore Mountains. The trail crosses the meadows of Kojšovská hoľa and follows the forests over Golgota, the Idčianske saddle and Pišivenky.

Past the ski slopes of Jahodná it reaches Bankov, the forest park above Košice. The city, the second largest in Slovakia, is a tram ride away.
