Jelení paroh & Kravský roh 2026

The "Jelení paroh" race is one of the oldest orienteering events in Slovakia. It has been held regularly since 1964. The organizer is ŠK Sandberg; in the past the race was regularly organized by the club Slávia TU Zvolen. The winner of the main category receives the traveling trophy – a deer antler. Since 1995, the award has also been extended to the women’s category – a cow horn.

This year these traveling trophies will be contested in the main men's and women's categories of the Tatry O-Cup race – they will be awarded to the M/W21 winners with the shortest total time across all three stages.

Where to go for a trip: Western Tatras, Choč Mountains

If you are looking for extra activities between our planned stages, you can find many in the immediate vicinity of Zuberec:

Roháčske pleasá are among the most well-known and most beautiful lakes in the Western Tatras. They are located in the Roháčska dolina and consist of a system of four glacial lakes. The hiking trail leads past the Roháčsky vodopád and the Ťatliakova chata (mountain hut) and offers beautiful views of the surrounding peaks.

Kvačianska dolina is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Choč Mountains and is part of a protected landscape area. The hiking trail follows the Kvačianka stream between rock walls and dense forests, offering a pleasant and easy walk.

The greatest attraction of the valley is the historic water mills of Oblazy, which are among the best-preserved technical monuments of their kind in Slovakia.

Prosiecka dolina is one of the most beautiful and most interesting valleys in the Choč Mountains. A hiking trail runs through it, leading through a narrow rocky canyon along the Prosečianka stream, across wooden footbridges and ladders all the way to the well-known Červené Piesky waterfall.

The village of Oravice is a popular recreational area in the Western Tatras, near the Slovak–Polish border. There are thermal springs here with a year-round water temperature of approximately 36–38°C, which are used in the local thermal spa. In winter, the area becomes a popular ski resort.

Brestovská jaskyňa is the only cave open to the public in the Orava region. Visitors can see underground spaces formed by water in limestone, narrow passages, smaller chambers, and interesting karst formations. You don’t even have to go far — the entrance is located right opposite the Museum of the Orava Village in Zuberec.
