ST201 Bratislava - Čunovo

The route from Bratislava to Čunovo begins by leaving the historic centre and crossing into Petržalka, a district defined by its vast post‑war housing estates and broad green corridors, where the Danube embankments offer long, open views back toward the castle and old town. As the trail continues south, the urban density gradually softens into the more village‑like atmosphere of Rusovce, a settlement with deep historical layers—from Roman remains to the 19th‑century Rusovce Mansion, set amid lakes, wetlands, and the protected landscapes of the Dunajské luhy nature reserve. Beyond Rusovce, the route enters increasingly rural terrain, following quiet roads and forest edges toward Čunovo, one of Bratislava’s southernmost districts. Here, the scenery opens into a mosaic of Danube backwaters, floodplain forests, and the engineered waterways of the Čunovo dam, with the village itself marked by its baroque church and calm, almost borderland atmosphere. This stage blends urban modernism, ancient history, and the wide, watery landscapes of the Danube’s southern reaches—ending at the threshold of Slovakia’s great river wetlands.
