Za kamzíky na Stráně by wosicz

One of my favorite routes, I ride it several times a year.

Quite a brutal climb from Vernířovice – first asphalt, from the second turn a forest track up to below Stráně. Below Vřesník I often see herds of chamois; from a pulpit right by the path I once watched them for a whole hour at a distance of just a few dozen meters. Then follows the classic loop around the upper reservoir with great views of the main ridge, Šumperk, Králičák and the surrounding hills and woods. Then as a reward a fantastic asphalt descent to Loučná. The road is good, but every now and then there is an unexpected pothole, watch out for that. In the northernmost part the path crosses a newly built ski slope with a chairlift. From Loučná an easy ride down the Desná valley, enlivened by passing through the centres of Velké Losiny and Šumperk.
