There are some types for you :
Our famous Čierný Hron railway.
This old scenic forest railway is one of the major tourist attractions of the Horehronie Region. In the past, the regular wood transport on the railway started between Čierny Balog and Hronec. The main role of that railway was to transport wood from forests. When the railway was closed it has started to work as a famous tourist attraction especially in summer period. You can take an unforgettable tour around some Slovakian villages in beautiful nature and for those who like an adventure you can experience the real robbery performance which is quite exciting. So keep your eyes open :)
