    The cycle route itself, winding through the Muránska planina NP, is picturesque. With some luck, you can observe semi-wild horses grazing freely on Veľká lúka. Near the Maretkiná chalet there is outdoor seating where you can rest after the demanding climb.

    Mandatory photo documentation: with your bicycle and one of the chalets in the background.

    Author’s recommendation

    We also recommend a visit to Poludnica, 5 minutes from the Maretkiná chalet via a marked hiking trail, one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Muránska planina.

    During the ascent by asphalt road from Muráň to Veľká lúka be cautious; the road is passable for motor vehicles with appropriate permission. The Muráň - Veľká lúka route is one-way for cyclists.

    Tips and suggestions

    We return to Muráň via Veľká lúka and Javorina saddle, as the Muráň - Veľká lúka route is one-way.

    Along the way, try beer from the family brewery Predná hora https://www.prednahora.sk/sk/pivovar/.

    You can find the ground squirrel habitat approximately 4.5 km southwest from the crossroads at Predná Hora towards Muráň, on the right side of road no. 531.

    Don't miss the Pension u Sysľa https://www.usysla.sk and relax after the demanding cycle tour.

    Roadbook

    The route starts in the village of Muráň, following a marked cycle path ascending by asphalt road through forested surroundings to the junction Veľká lúka – Piesky. There we join the yellow cycle route, which ends after about 3.5 km at the Maretkiná clearing, where there is a forest chalet and a farm building. The Maretkiná chalet stands a few dozen meters down to the left, behind a wooden ramp. We return to Muráň via Veľká lúka and Javorina saddle, as the Muráň - Veľká lúka route is one-way for cyclists.
