Hike to Veľká Baňa
Put on your hiking gear and set off on a short trek through Bratislava’s forest park (Lesopark).
Take Bus 43 from Patrónka to the Lesopark stop, where your journey begins. As you walk through the forest, you’ll arrive at Veľká Baňa, an unmarked hill standing 444 metres above sea level near Rača.
From there, descend to the Detvianska tram stop. The route covers approximately 12 km and takes around four hours to complete.
