Overview

About this route

5

The Swim Route - MTB trip around Kamenica nad Hronom village in Sturovo / Esztergom areas nearby. I marked out few POIs of places to swim,  of nice views, etc. The MTB route is touching villages as well (grocery stores, pubs). Tried to create a scenic route to show the true character of this area combined with MTB technical passages as well. Without cars at all, except last few kilometers. Definitely recommend a MTB 29er, ideally full suspension. The route is not for children. If you are looking for tough-ish, multisurfaced route packed with short rock garden, sand, field, grass, rivers (Danube, Hron, Ipel), forests to reward yourself at the end, this is your route. In july, august the temperature can reach 33-35 °C.
