11 Okolo a cez Galmus

The route offers a pleasant bike ride in a natural environment. It passes through the landscape and scientifically significant area of Galmus, with the natural reserves of Červené skaly and Galmuská tisina. Our cycling journey begins in the center of Krompach at the town hall from the information and orientation spot. At the beginning we face 5 kilometers of gentle ascent along the main road on the green bicycle route 5855. After completing them, at the beginning of Sloviniek at the intersection near the cemetery, we turn right and continue a comfortable ride down the valley of Poráčsky brook to the Čierny bocian lodge. From there, the road surface changes to a solid one and we gain a significant amount of altitude. Meanwhile, we pass through a section lined with the protected natural area Červené skaly. From the Relaxsport center Poráč Park, we continue on the gravel road with a steep ascent up to Poráč. At the first intersection we turn right and continue on the blue bicycle route (2709) with a gentler ascent to the forest above the village. We then enjoy the 'swing-like' profile of the bike route until the junction of hiking and cycling paths of Galmus. Here we change from the blue bike route to the yellow one. We turn left and begin to descend along the forest road. The loss of altitude signals to us that the recreational center Za horou is not far away. At the intersection of hiking and cycling paths Za horou we turn right and continue on the shared section of the yellow and red bike route (014 Spišska bike route) to the junction of the Kondratka bike routes, where we turn again to the right onto the forest road and allow ourselves to be guided solely by the yellow bike route. We pass under the underpass of the railway line and the bridge over the Hornád. From the local road in Kolinovciach, we turn right onto the main road (end of cycling tourism signage), where a few unpleasant kilometers with dense traffic await us. In Krompach, at the main intersection, we turn right and take the local road on Hlavná street to reach the destination of our cycling loop.
