The Šturec mountain pass is known for its hairpin bends and is therefore popular with motorcyclists. The road is relatively wide and ideal for cycling. Be careful, as traffic can be quite heavy here. If you have a mountain bike, you can also cycle up to the Kráľová studňa mountain hotel.

Beautiful climb with great post turns. The surface is good, but it is the main drag between Banská Bystrica and Martin, which means that especially on weekdays the traffic is quite dense with lots of trucks.
