Climb analysis: Over 14.9 km with 471 m of elevation gain, this climb averages 3.2% and is rated Category 1. The toughest section is the opening, with 6% from km 0 to km 2, then 5% at km 2-3 and 4% at km 3-4, so you're facing sustained gradients from the very first four kilometres. The rest of the route alternates between rolling 1% stretches (km 6-7, 9-10, 11-12, 12-13 and 13-14) and sharper ramps, notably 5% at km 8-9. Disciplined pacing from the start is therefore essential if you want to arrive at the summit with legs left.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard Over the first four kilometres at 6%, keep your effort in check and save something in the tank for the rest of the col.
2. Make the most of the flat sections Recover on the 1% stretches at km 6-7 and 9-10, keeping a smooth cadence to top up your energy.
3. Prepare for the ramp at km 8-9 Tackle the 5% section between the 8th and 9th kilometre with a steady rhythm, no surges, to limit muscle fatigue.
A cyclist who did Kis-kőhát from Miskolc talks about a 75 km round trip via Jávorkút and Nagymező. For him, it was a great day on the bike and a good training ride. Along the route, he took plenty of photos in the Bükk.
From Nagymező or from the Bánya-hegy car park, you first follow the paved road. A sign shows where to leave the tarmac: a bulldozed track heads into the forest. It is also an interpretive trail (Kis-kőhát-Nagymező), and green triangle waymarks lead toward Három-kő. A few stones are placed on the boards of the sign. It's about 1 km on this track to reach a junction. Take the left, climb another 400 to 500 m, and you'll reach the Kis-kőhát transmission tower, roughly in the middle of the plateau.
At the top there's a radio tower, which helps with orientation, a house next to it, and a bit further on the summit sign. One cyclist advises paying close attention to the three-stones sign. Another didn't find any marked trail to the summit. You get there through a clearing in the forest.
The weak point comes up again and again in the accounts: there's no view. One cyclist describes the summit as a house and nothing else, and sees no panorama in any direction. The summit offers no panorama, which is the clearest takeaway from these reports.
