Why walk the trails of the Cyril and Methodius Route?

The long-distance trails of the Cyril and Methodius Route invite you to pilgrimage sites and archaeological sites that have contributed significantly to the development of Slavic culture. They are signposted in both directions and encourage wandering without borders, not only state borders.

  • Experience: you'll be surprised what you can do
  • Great signposting: tourist signposting
  • Incredible landscape: we wander through the countryside off the busy stretches

What can be obtained?

Perhaps everyone likes to bring back something from hiking, be it various tourist and souvenir items. If you will be hiking the Cyril and Methodius Route, we have prepared the following printed materials to motivate you to hike the trail:

  • Pilgrimage passports: collecting stamps for a special passport
  • Memorial letters: a souvenir letter at the end of the journey
  • Maps: printed guide
