We started this trip to the Kamenné vráta rock city which lies hidden in the Carpathian forests, at the Kučišdorf dam. At the beginning, as always, we were delayed by a few scenes from the local microworld :-) We slowly walked up (along unmarked paths above vineyards) to a pleasant side ridge of the Little Carpathians, which led us to the rocks. There we could admire their diversity for quite a long time, as they form a strip of about a kilometer. On the way down, we just followed the green sign with good views towards Pezinok.

Interesting points on the route:
- Just on the edge of the forest - World War II military bunker (not included in the video)
- Pezinská Malá homoľa - a group of boulders at the top, nice oaks, moss, no views
- Machník - a moss-covered hill with beech trees, rusks and views of the central part of the Little Carpathians
- Kamenná brána ("rock gate") - apparently marks the passage through the rock range, at its highest points provides views, mostly of the central part of the Little Carpathians
- Kamenné okno ("rock window") - was difficult to identify at all (should have been formed by a landslide) and to find, unless you climb all the way through the rocks - it is probably located somewhere near Kamenná brána. But this time we probably found another, smaller rock window at the contour line at a height of 600m.
