Iron Curtain Trail (EuroVelo 13) revisited

... or at least the almost 20km part between Bratislava suburb Devinska Nova Ves and the village Vysoka pri Morave.

I think it is one of the most beautiful natural reserve areas around Bratislava. The nature is truly stunning with lush green meadows, monumental lonesome trees, willows by the water, singing birds. A wonderful place to go for picknick or just a slow bike ride with enjoying the sounds and sights.

The pictures below were all taken on a sunny day in early spring, so most trees are still without leaves. In late spring and summer it is even greener and the shade of trees makes even the warmest summer days very pleasant.

Bike shops in Bratislava

When you find yourself in Bratislava and you need something fixed, here is a map of bike shops in Bratislava, complete with opening hours and phone numbers. Just in case...

I can recommend Kaktus Bike - I have only the best experience with their service. They are probably the largest shop in the city. They may be a little more expensive but still it's cheap compared to west european or american prices. They usually have long waiting list during the cycling season, but will do immediate repair at extra cost.

I've had some bad experience with Sport servis in Podunajske Biskupice, so I steer clear of their repair shop. However they are well stocked with parts and the sales people are very nice.

In case you need some repair done on sunday, your only choice is the Green bike. They are open on sunday from 9 'till 14 (2pm).
