Route directions
Who it’s for: Easy. A first forest walk; gentle pace and basic walking fitness.
Follow the resort roads uphill towards Semkovo Hut, walk to the pond and return the same way. This is the walk for an arrival afternoon, an hour between calls or a picnic that lasts longer than the exercise. Wooden shelters give you somewhere to spread out lunch, and the forest starts doing its work almost as soon as you leave the building.
The road approach is about 1.6 km each way; the shorter walking plan is roughly 3 km in total. Both end at the hut area. Cars can reach the hut, so expect company on summer weekends. Bring your own refreshments unless you have arranged a meal: the kitchen does not serve reliably every day. This is also the departure point for H02 and H03.
