The Tank Road
Turiec
The Tank Road cycling route is visited throughout the year. It offers views of the whole Turčianska kotlina (Turiec Basin) and you can see it crystal clear during good visibility. It is attractive for cyclists, as there are two lookout towers – Pod Bokšínom and Na Tankovej ceste, which together with three other lookout towers in the region create the Turiec Lookouts Cycling Circuit. Not long ago, tanks and heavy military equipment used this road. Today, it is a popular and sought-after cycling route. The route is of medium difficulty, and it is recommended to use a trekking or a mountain bike.
The Tank Road starts at the SNP memorial in Bukoviny, Martin – Stráne, and ends in the village of Trnovo.
The route runs along asphalt and gravel roads and is suitable for MTB and trekking bikes.
