The train starts at the Bratislava Main Station and the final destination is Plavecké Podhradie. The train will be equipped with a carriage for bikes.

“The tourist cyclo-train is a perfect example of how to launch tourism in the region,” said Juraj Droba, chair of the Bratislava Region, as quoted by the SITA newswire. “The journey is very pleasant, you will enjoy the panoramas of Záhorie and there are plenty possibilities for trips. If you reach Plavecké Podhradie, it is possible to visit a castle or well-known lookout tower in Vápenná.”
