One of many former bunker buildings along the Morava on the Slovak side. The bunkers were built from 1938 onwards, were never completed and consequently never put into operation.

Modern, former border and customs building that today has a very functional new use.

Memorial to the Victims of the Iron Curtain. It is a rust-colored iron sculpture deliberately reminiscent of a broken border element – raw, angular, open. Engraved are the names and dates of those who died trying to escape from Czechoslovakia to the West. The memorial stands on the banks of the Morava River, where the heavily guarded border with the neutral zone of Austria once ran. Today, it is part of a small memorial area overlooking the Danube, Devín Castle, and the open borderland. It is a quiet place of remembrance that, with its minimalist design and raw materials, makes the pain of separation visible – while simultaneously honoring the hope for freedom.

The U Rytiera restaurant is located directly at the foot of Devín Castle near Bratislava and is ideal for a rest stop while cycling – especially for cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path or on a tour along the Morava River. This simple, rustic restaurant offers typical home-style dishes such as soups, delicious pizza, and Slovak classics at reasonable prices. In summer, the large terrace with views of the surrounding countryside is a great place to linger. For cyclists, the restaurant is a practical, convenient stopover – especially after visiting the castle or on the way back to Bratislava.

More of a filling station (in the middle of the forest) than a rest area.

The scenery is also a delight in autumn. There are hardly any technically demanding passages.
