A popular spot for tourists in Muránska Planina national park , central Slovakia, where European ground squirrels live, will be more easily accessible.
A tourist train riding between the village of Muráň and the Biele Vody meadow will start operating during the weekends in May.
A helping hand in the heart of Europe offers a travel guide of Slovakia.
In addition to the meadow, the village is considering including Muráň Castle as a stop in the train schedule.
Muráň received more than €380,000 from the recovery plan to buy the train.
"We want to somehow relieve the burden on the meadow, there is a huge number of cars," said Muráň mayor Roman Goldschmidt.
Therefore, parking space should also be constructed near the local football pitch.
The tourist train is being supplied to Muráň by a Czech company.
In addition to the train, the village invested money in installing tourist information boards near the local sights.
