Difficulty analysis: This 10.1 km climb with 356 m of elevation gain averages 3.5%, which may look easy on paper, but the profile is uneven. The start is tough, with 4% over km 0.0-1.0, then 5% over km 1.0-2.0, before a very rolling stretch at 1% over km 2.0-3.0 and km 5.0-6.0. The real difficulty comes in the final third, with a steady 5% over km 7.0-8.0, 8.0-9.0 and 9.0-10.0, where the legs really start to burn.
Pacing tips:
1. Save something for later Don't go out too hard on the 4% section over km 0.0-1.0. You'll need energy for the 5% ramps that follow.
2. Use the flat sections to recover On the 1% stretches over km 2.0-3.0 and 5.0-6.0, soft-pedal, settle back into a steady rhythm, and drink and eat something.
3. Manage your effort for the finish Over km 7.0-8.0, 8.0-9.0 and 9.0-10.0 at 5%, hold a steady gear and cadence, with no surges, so you reach the top with something left in the tank.
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.
