Hi.
At first I thought that I would not write an article about this cycling trip, but in the end it turned out differently as you can see.
In the morning, I prepared my things, checked the bike and I go along the dirt road through the field we have near the city. Of course I took my camera with me. You know, if something interests me, let me take a picture of it. However, my goal is to cycle along forest roads, relax a bit and improve my fitness.
I'm going along a forest path that I know well. I come here often. The road climbs slightly, but there are also sections that give me a hard time. Don't tell anyone, but in a certain part I got off my bike and had to push it. I still have to work on my fitness.
I'm coming to the turn signal. I decide which way to go. Do I go the one I know or the one I haven't gone yet. I decided to learn something new and continue on a path I don't know.
It didn't take long before I came here. It was with this view that I decided to take pictures and write an article about my cycling trip.
The road rises slowly. The climb is gradual and I'm glad I don't have to push the bike.
I can see Muráň mountain in front of me. My goal is below the peak.
The village of Novoveská Huta is hidden in the valley, in the forest. As the name suggests, mines were located here in the past and mining took place here. Although we can still find one here today, and gypsum is mined in it.
The weather is pleasant outside. Neither heat nor cold. In short, just the weather for cycling, which I thoroughly enjoy.
I will never get tired of this sight. In the distance you can see the High Tatras. It is true that I have not seen them from this angle and from this place. They are beautiful, what do you say?
On the way I meet only one older married couple. No one else. I am alone in the forest. I'm not surprised, it's a working day after all.
And I'm here! The destination of my journey is in sight. Poľana pod Muráň. I am at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level and I will not go higher. Now I have to decide whether to go back or go down the hiking trail, which is shorter.
I decided to go down the hiking trail. Well, it wasn't exactly the best decision. The road started to narrow after a few meters and from time to time I had an obstacle in front of me in the form of a fallen tree. It wasn't very good for cycling, so I pushed the bike quite often.
However, the beautiful nature in the form of these flowers made my journey more pleasant.
As soon as it was possible, I connected to the forest road and after it I got to the asphalt road that went to the village of Novoveská Huta. Exactly to the one I saw from the mountain.
Here I already connected to the paved cycle path, which I followed until I reached the city.
I am pleasantly tired and relaxed at the same time. It was a beautifully spent day, after which I gained a lot of mental strength.
Thank you.
