Selected alternatives for you
    The cycling route is marked in green and is passable in both directions. This cycling route is named after Samuel Mikovínyi (a prominent figure in mining engineering). In the 18th century, he was involved in the creation of an admirable system of flumes that supplied water to the mining reservoirs around Banská Štiavnica and Banská Hodruša. Mikovínyi's Green Ride (hereinafter MGR) runs largely along such a flume system.

    The start and end of the cycling route can be chosen at either end. Uphill from Rudno is demanding for fitness, while going from Červená studňa you will climb less than half of the elevation meters.

    Description from Rudno. The initial section first leads through a village and later as a forest road with a steady climb to the village Uhliská and the saddle Lachtrická above the village. There are views and a resting place suitable for refreshments at the saddle. We continue along the forest road towards Vysoká. From the village, we move on the asphalt road with a climb and later a descent to Levická road, where we turn left and descend down the asphalt below Kopanice. We climb along Kopanice reservoir and the buffet by the lake up above Kopanice, then after crossing a long meadow past a resting place, we enter the forest and ride through the romantic setting of the Kopanice flume to Richňava, where you can refresh in summer. Next is an ascent above Richňava and a ride along the Lower Hodruša flume almost to Červená studňa.

    Author’s recommendation

    Swim in the reservoir Veľká Richňava, there is clean water and an opportunity for refreshments. On the forest road behind Lachtrisky, you will find an interesting natural calvary on the left side.
