Smooth riding along three beautiful tajchos where you can swim, with plenty of views and several opportunities for good refreshments. It includes riding on the Helligon flowtrail.
The route includes the best that the Štiavnické Hills can offer to a mountain biker. The loop passes through multiple entry points (Červená studňa, Horná Roveň, Veľká Richňava tajch, Kopanice, Salamandra resort), so you can start at any of them. It features one long 5 km climb from Salamandra Resort to the highest point above Červená studňa and several shorter steeper climbs. This 'effort' is balanced by a relaxed nearly five-kilometer ride along the flat but winding bed of the Horný hodrušský ditch. From the ditch, you descend to Salamandra resort via the Helligon flowtrail. Riding it is not suitable for beginners due to banked curves, terrain waves, and a steeper slope at the beginning.
The tajchos on the route are Horný hodrušský tajch near Salamandra resort, Veľká Richňava, and Kopanický.
The route offers many opportunities for refreshments - Hájovňa at Červená studňa, Altmayer guesthouse at Horná Roveň, buffet at Richňava tajch, buffet Nad jazerom at Kopanický tajch, hospitality at Kopanice, and Salamandra resort below the Helligon flowtrail.
It follows marked trails except for the section from Červená studňa to Horná Roveň, which runs along a forest road bed.
Author’s recommendation
At Sedlo Pleso, don't forget to visit the viewpoint overlooking the Piargske tajchos. If you want to avoid riding on the Helligon, continue along the red trail to the Červená studňa saddle. This also helps you avoid the challenging climb from Salamandra Resort to Červená studňa.
