The nature trail Zvoni\u010dka<\/a> in Nov\u00e1 Ba\u0148a is 6233 metres long. It is fairly easy, bidirectional, circular, and open all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its route features the popular Bell Tower \"Zvoni\u010dka\", with wonderful views of the city below and the Hron River valley from the Red Rock and the Raven Rock. It continues along the Klingsbittner mine shaft, the H\u00e1j hill and the lookout tower atop it, until it ends in the Koh\u00fatov chapel. The trail crosses the Garden Forest planted between Koh\u00fatov and Zvoni\u010dka. The Garden Forest has open ferratas for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first stop is the area of Zvoni\u010dka, which was added to the chapel Koh\u00fatovo so that the sound of the bells could better spread through the town of Nov\u00e1 Ba\u0148a. Zvoni\u010dka is the popular recreation area, where you will find via ferrata for kids, the Zvoni\u010dka cafeteria open all year round, a fireplace and climbing frames, which opened in 2022. Various cultural events are held in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Rock and Raven Rock guarantee some of the most beautiful views of the Hron River valley. The viewpoint visibility extends far beyond the Slovak Gate. Exercise caution when climbing these steep cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near the rocks in the direction of H\u00e1j, turn off the trail a short distance to the Klingsbitner shaft, also marked with an info sign. It is one of the proofs of ancient mining activity in the area of Nov\u00e1 Bana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the edge of the H\u00e1j massif, the H\u00e1j lookout tower <\/a>offers tourists a view of the Novobansk\u00e1 basin, from the western part of the ridge of Pohronsk\u00fd Inovec with the distinctive hills Sedlov\u00e1 skala and Vini\u010dn\u00fd vrch. The lookout tower stands on the site of a former quarry, where the pink Konigsberg rhyolite was extracted in the past. This stone was used to produce millstones, and for the foundations of the lookout tower. In very high visibility, it is even possible to see the cathedral of Esztergom in Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the lookout tower we continue in the direction of the nature trail, where we join the Zbojn\u00edcke studni\u010dky Nature Trail <\/a>on the meadow Predn\u00fd \u0160arv\u00edz. On the way we can turn to the Rovinka well or continue directly to the Koh\u00fatovo locality. Here by the chapel grows a protected mammoth redwood. The pilgrimage site is associated with the legend of the sheep that saved the town of Nov\u00e1 Ba\u0148a from a severe drought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
