Trip
rating: Moderate to Challenging
This
route leads from the stately waters of
the mighty Danube to
the pure mountain
springs of the Tatras. The Hungarian
influence
is very strong in this part of
Slovakia. For many riverside
Slovak
towns
with their large ethnic
Hungarian populations, Hungarian is
the
language of choice. You will ride
along Slovak side of the Danube to
the town of Sturovo. From
here,
cycle from lowland farms of the
Danube Valley to the highland
pastures of the Tatra Mountains.
You can still watch carpets
being
hand-made in the mountain village of
Malatina, and admire
the wooden
churches in Letiny and Hronsek,
built without a single
nail.
