To a picturesque forest chalet in an area full of bears.
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.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
