RECREATIONAL POTENTIAL OF RADOŠINKA MICROREGION: LANDSCAPE – ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL OF THE CYCLO ROUTE

Mária Bihuňová, Branislav Králik

Nitra region consist mostly of agricultural landscape with non forest vegetation, water features and forests. The plain landscape has a great potential for the recreational cycling activities – which could lead to the tourism development of the region and extension of the recreational infrastructure. There are several cycle roads, connecting Nitra with its surrounding – villages and cities – cycle roads are established mostly along the river Nitra and in the agricultural landscape. Former railway lines have hidden potential for the widening the accessibility of the landscape for the inhabitants and tourists. Chosen area is located in Nitra region, in the basin of Radošinka stream. The Radošinka stream connects 30 municipalities into the Radošinka NGO microregion. The main idea of our landscape - architectural proposal was to connect the municipalities with the greenway and offer citizens faster and healthier way for movement between the municipalities and possibility for everyday recreational use. There are also several former railway stations, which could be used as recreational and educational centres.
