The new cycle route Šalková – Poniky
On September 19, we ceremonially opened the new Šalková – Poniky cycle route, which was created thanks to the support from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development under the Rural Development Program of the Slovak Republic 2014 – 2022. The asphalt bike path is complemented by a gazebo with a fireplace and an information and educational board. The cycle route leads from the city district of Šalková towards the village of Poniky and will offer cyclists views of the wide surroundings and the opportunity to relax in the newly built gazebo.
