Pečniansky les

Pečniansky les is a protected forest area in Bratislava that covers a large territory between the river and the border region. The space contains dense woodland with natural paths where visitors can walk and cycle through different parts of the forest.

The area was originally formed as an island within the Danube River and gained official protected status in the early 2010s. This designation helped preserve the natural resources found in this region.

Local people regularly come here to walk, run, and spend time outdoors in this wooded space. Visitors often notice families and joggers using the paths as part of their daily routines.

The area has marked paths for walking and cycling that are straightforward to follow. Wear proper footwear and bring rain protection, as the trails can become muddy after heavy rainfall.

The area serves as a crucial source for the city's drinking water protection and supplies. This water function is one of the main reasons the region remains carefully monitored and maintained.
