Tourists can now “cycle” on railways between the Hronec and Čierny Balog stations in the Horehronie region. The railway cannot be used properly because of its bad condition so there was the idea of launching the cycling draisine. project.
“Currently, there are two paddling draisines accessible on the railways, borrowed from Poland,” said Aleš Bílek, director of Čiernohorská Železnica, as quoted by the TASR newswire.
Two people can paddle at the same time and two or three other people can sit on the draisine.
“We are proud to bring the attraction to the region as the first of its kind in Slovakia,” he added, as quoted by TASR.
