Favorite Bicycle Railroad<\/a> between Pre\u0161ov and Sigordom<\/a> has a new stop for relaxation, meeting and learning about history. In Koko\u0161ovce, a new thematic rest area has been added Train<\/strong>, which refers to the former forest railway running through the valley of the Delne and Sigord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New recreational element prepared by Regional Tourism Organisation Pre\u0161ov Region<\/a> in cooperation with the municipality of Koko\u0161ovce. It will be inaugurated during a joint bike ride from Pre\u0161ov to Koko\u0161ovce and then to Sigord on Saturday 23 May 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Common bike ride from Pre\u0161ov to Sigord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The event entitled Cycling behind the train<\/strong> will bring together fans of cycling, active recreation and regional history. The route will lead along the well-known section of the former railway line, which today is one of the most popular cycling routes in the surroundings of Pre\u0161ov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cyclists' meeting is scheduled for 9.30 a.m. on Rus\u00ednsk\u00e1 Street near Bike Centrum Pre\u0161ov<\/strong>. From there the participants will move towards Koko\u0161ovce, where the 11.00 a.m.<\/strong> the new Vl\u00e1\u010dik rest area was inaugurated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the opening, the bike ride will continue to the Sigord Reservoir. There will also be a prize draw and the first 50 registered participants will receive a gift package. The more fit cyclists will be able to continue from Sigord with the Kostitras bicycle group from Pre\u0161ov to Slovak opal mines.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Resting place with a train motif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new resting place consists of a wooden train, which is a natural reminder of the railway past of this locality. A forest railway used to run through the valley of Delna and Sigord, which was mainly used for transporting timber from the Slansk\u00e9 hory mountains. Later, part of its route also functioned as a recreational pioneer railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today this history is commemorated by Bicycle Railroad<\/a>, which has become a popular place for recreational cyclists, families with children and day trippers. The new rest area is intended to be a place where visitors can relax, park their bikes and learn more about the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resting place also includes a bicycle rack and an information board with a map of nearby attractions, tourist destinations and cycling routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eWe wanted to create a place where cyclists can relax, meet each other and learn more about the area they are passing through. The motif of the train naturally refers to the forest railway, which was once an important part of life in this area,\u201c said Martin Jano\u0161ko, director of KOCR Pre\u0161ov Region.<\/p>\n\n\n

A new reason to go cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Vl\u00e1\u010dik resting place is another element that makes the Cycle Railway more attractive for locals and visitors to the region. It combines a practical respite for cyclists, a playful visual motif and a reminder of the historic railway that once shaped life in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling behind the train will not only be a sporting event, but also an opportunity to discover a familiar place in a new way. Pre\u0161ov, Koko\u0161ovce, Sigord and the Slansk\u00e9 vrchy Mountains show once again that the region offers many opportunities for active recreation, family trips and exploring history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
