Cycle route marking system in Slovakia

Cycle routes marking in Slovakia is standardized by the technical norm STN 01 8028 Cykloturistické značenie. Marking is realized by Slovak Cycle Club (Slovenský cykloklub - SCK).

Majority of Slovak cycle routes are marked by this unified system. A basic marker is a white square sign with red, blue, green or yellow letter "C". Red color is used for long distance routes, blue, green and yellow other routes.

Some routes are marked according to system of Slovak Tourist Club (Klub slovenských turistov - KST). A basic marker is a square sign consisting of three horizontal stripes. The upper and the lower stripes are white. The central one is red, blue, green or yellow.

Tagging

Routes

Creating a relation for every cycle route is recommended instead of tagging each element. Be sure that the relation does not exists before creating new! You can check it on the Slovak Cycle Routes List. Unsure about relations? Read more.

Tag Description
type=route
route=bicycle
colour=red/blue/green/yellow/white Marking colour.
network=icn/ncn/rcn/lcn Defines route as a part of an international (icn), national (ncn), regional (rcn) or local (lcn) network. More about cycle routes networks in Slovakia.

Cycle Routes Networks and Numbering

Tag Description Example
network=icn International cycle routes. In case of Slovakia it is EuroVelo 6.
network=ncn Long distance cycle routes. They are marked by red color (with few exceptions) and numbered by three digit numbers starting with 0. Examples: 001, 024. About 30 long distance cycle routes are planned. Cycle routes of KST are numbered Cxxxx.
network=rcn Regional cycle routes. They are marked (mostly) by blue , green and yellow color. All routes are numbered by four digit numbers. Blue routes start with 2, green with 5 and yellow with 8. Cycle routes of KST are numbered Cxxxx.
network=lcn Use for local cycle routes marked by other systems, mostly for cycle routes marked in cities which have transport function. Example: Cycle route Petržalské korzo in Bratislava.

Note: In fact, national and regional networks as defined above are part of only one network. However, red colour is used for long distance routes.
