First part is route ŽSR 172, Banská Bystrica-Červená Skala, second, route ŽSR 173, Červená Skala-Margecany. This route is in most divisions one track route wich means only in stations can trains avoid each other. This route is in beautiful country wich cross valleys, and plains. Route have wonderful scenery. This route could feature Hronec branch wich is located appx. 38 mins. from Banska Bystrica. This branch starts from station Chvatimech and is long about 1.2 kilometers (0.7 miles) and after there is siding due to forestry industry, from where are being dispatched trains to Podbrezová, where is big siding and ironworks Podbrezová, wich is passanger station too.
