Banská ŠtiavnicaPhoto: Michal Berák, Banská Bystrica Region Tourism
Sitno (1,009.2 m a.s.l.) is the highest peak of the Štiavnické vrchy mountain range. Sitno is surrounded by many myths and legends. In modern history, it was made famous by the Slovak preacher Andrej Kmeť through national ascents with sermons on its summit. Sitno is accessible by bike as well.

The route described here is circular, but you can return from any part, or choose the opposite direction.
A cycling trip for daring cyclists from the picturesque Banská Štiavnica to Sitno Castle can be a pleasant addition to your day. The Štiavnické mountain range is characterized by its hilly terrain because it is of volcanic origin. Besides doing something good for your health, you will also be offered beautiful views of the wide surroundings, into valleys, towns, villages, fields, or mountain ranges, the Štiavnická Calvary, and last but not least, castles (Štiavnické and Sitno).
Author’s recommendation
In the summer season, do not miss a refreshment in the Banská Štiavnica reservoirs, or a tour of the town. Be sure to stop for a good coffee at the Old School.
