Hike to Veľká Baňa
Meeting point: Saturday, November 25 at Patrónka stop at 10:10
This weekend the hikers will set out on a short hike to Veľká Baňa. They will meet at the Patrónka stop for the bus at 10:20, which will take them to Lesopark.
Veľká Baňa is an unmarked hill above Bratislava's Rača and thus provides a view of this part of the city.
The hike is about 10 km, taking approximately 3 hours of walking. You can expect to walk up some minor increases in elevation, and walking on mostly marked trails.
If you would like to go on the hike later, see the map below.
