The HIDDEN GEM scenic ride from Turčianske Teplice to Banská Bystrica in Slovakia

A quick ride through the Fatras in Slovakia on a snowy winter's morning. This journey really is one of those "hidden gem" trips that cuts its way through steeply-sided valleys to finally bring you down to Banská Bystrica.

I'd heard about this on a UK newspaper's travel section, where they were detailing the "less travelled" scenic routes of Europe. I had time before my train to Bratislava to make the trip there and back and I was so pleased I did!
