The Levoča Hills and the adjacent foothills and forests of the villages of Tvarožná, Hradisko, or the extinct Ruskinovce were until recently accessible to tourists and cyclists only in a limited way. Thanks to the long-term initiative of the OOCR Tatry-Spiš-Pieniny in cooperation with the Slovak Tourist Club Levočské vrchy-Branisko and a group of cycling enthusiasts from Spišská Bela, a number of hiking and cycling trails have been marked, which allow visitors to move safely.
The Brezová Hill is easily accessible by a green hiking trail from the village of Hradisko. We recommend parking your car at the bus stop at the beginning of the village. At the top there is a yellow signpost signposting many other cycling and hiking destinations. Beautiful views of the High Tatras, Kralova Hora were interspersed with views of the Slovak Paradise and the Slovak Ore Mountains.
We went further along the blue hiking trail to Zbojnicka meadow, on the way we had views of Levoča and Marianska hora with the slender tower of the basilica. After resting in a wooden shelter, we headed along the green tourist trail through the saddle under the Cross Hill to the pond in Hradiska dolka. The pleasant walk led along a grassy forest path lined with pine, spruce and oak trees with more unforgettable views of the ski slopes in the Levoča valley and the southern slopes of the Levoča Hills. From the pond, we followed a short route along the asphalt road and joined the green bicycle spur to the road to Tvarozna. From here the village of Hradisko is about 2.5km away. The length of the whole route was about 14 km.
