At 60 kilometers long, it is designated as an MTB and road cycling route with an asphalt surface. There are benches and information boards with educational content along the route. When planning, you can take into account the specific details of its length, designated cycling types and surface, without treating them as an indication of walking time or difficulty level.

Golf and other activities

The Black Stork Resort in Veľká Lomnica has a 27-hole PGA golf course and a golf academy for beginners. Playing conditions may vary by season. The golf resort also includes a 350-meter-long covered shooting range. The golf course, academy and shooting range offer a different focus for activities than the historic sights or cycling route.
