Activities

The route of the Kajňanská desiatka runs from Slovenská Kajňa below the Domaša Reservoir and around the balancing reservoir, through Malá Domaša and back to Slovenská Kajňa. The yellow-marked hiking trail 8802 leads from Slovenská Kajňa to Pohlodok and is 5.5 km long. The first section of the Domaša–Slanské vrchy cycling route begins at the municipal office in Slovenská Kajňa; the entire route is suitable for mountain bikes. Fishing in the VVN M. Domaša Reservoir is permitted year-round. The water surface of the VVN M. Domaša Reservoir covers 105 ha and extends from the weir in the municipality of Slovenská Kajňa to the dam.

You can weigh the different types of activities against one another according to your preferred daily rhythm: exercise, time by the water and observations can be considered separately. The combination of nature, sports trails and fishing can also be given different priorities depending on your personal interests. The options mentioned differ in terms of the type of activity and time commitment: the run and hiking trail represent marked routes, the cycling route is for mountain bikes, and fishing is a year-round permitted use of the reservoir. This allows active days and time by the water to be considered separately.
