The Civil Association (OZ) Veterány.EU and Lednické Rovne invite the general public to ride a historic motor train from Trenčianska Teple to Lednice Rovne, which will take place on the occasion of the diocesan pilgrimage to St. Joachim and Anne in Lednice Rovniach.

Driving with a historic train at the head of the M 131.1443 engine car starts at 9.45 h at the Trenčianska Teplá train station, where regular trains can be transported from Bratislava, Žilina, Horné Srnie and Prague. The return ticket costs 4 €, children between 6 and 15 years pay half.

The motorbike ride to take passengers behind the tourist destinations in the White Carpathians. "For example, the public can go to the village of Pruské and make a trip to the ruins of the medieval castle Vršatec and follow the trail of Vršatské bradla. After returning to the village, it can be continued in the afternoon link to Lednice Rove where the pilgrim Holy Mass begins at 19.00, "says Jaroslav Filo , chairman of the association. Other tips for trips include the remains of the historic railroad in Ľuborčianska dolina, or the visit to the Church of Pominovec and the Austerlitz Museum in Slavnica. In Lednice Rovnia you can visit the local swimming pool, the HuntyFish area, or take a stroll through the vast park. There is also a possibility of a trip to Ostrý Vrch and Lednice Castle. Bicycles are allowed to fill the train capacity. Railway travelers will definitely enjoy the planned photo-stops at individual stations along the schedule.

Possibility to visit Trencianske Teplice

Thanks to the holiday motorcycle, the passengers can spend a pleasant afternoon in the picturesque surroundings of Trenčianske Teplice. "We have set the timetable so that the Trenčianska Teple is securely connected to the tram to the spa. The inhabitants of the towns and villages on line 124 can thus take off in the afternoon connection to the Trenčín electric railway, take a trip to the spa town and make a comfortable return to the afternoon. I believe that this offer will also be used by residents and visitors to the diocesan drive in Lednice Rovies, " says Patrik Špačinský , a member of the civic association.

Transportation to pilgrimage holy mass

On the occasion of the 9th diocesan pilgrimage to St. Joachim and Anne, an extraordinary connection from Trenčianska Teple to Lednice Rovne will be dispatched at 17:45, where an evening pilgrim Holy Mass will take place at the baroque chapel of St. Anne, starting at 19:00. "So far, an extraordinary train has been going to Lednice Rovne only for Sunday part of the diocesan pilgrimage and has been insufficient for capacity. In cooperation with the municipality, we decided to go on a special train for Saturday evening mass. Guests wishing to so can leave their car at home and travel to the fun with convenient public transport. At the end of the mass, we then take them back to Trenčianska Teplej. We thank the Railways of the Slovak Republic for the satisfaction of this connection, " added Špačinský.

"Driving a nostalgic train on an unused line at Lednice Rovne offers great opportunities for a pleasant survival of the last Saturday of July. The aim of this event is to show the public that this part of the Trenčín Region also offers a number of tourist attractions, whether it is the majestic Vršaty bral, the picturesque church in Pominovec or Lednice Castle. The holiday motorbike connects the villages on the line no. 124 with Trenčín electric railway and allows for convenient transportation to the spa without complicated transit. At the same time it gives the opportunity to combine tourist destinations with a visit to the traditional diocesan pilgrimage in Lednice Rovniach. The extra train is designed for tourists and pilgrims, as well as for families with children and rail travelers, for which we have prepared the possibility of setting a train on the route in individual stations and stops. While traveling, it will also be possible to buy commemorative items with a transport theme to contribute to the activities of our association. We believe that the weather will be pleasant and we will spend a nice day together in the Trenčín self-governing region, " adds Mgr. Jaroslav Filo.
