Lake Kuchajda and its surroundings are a popular spot for active relaxation for Bratislava residents. In addition to swimming, running, or exercising, it’s also suitable for a light walk. Kuchajda has an oval shape, measuring 550 meters in length and 100 meters in width. The shore is covered with gravel, while most of the surrounding area is grassy. The lake area is fenced with an older, yet quite interestingly crafted fence.
The Kamzík TV Tower is a telecommunications structure that also serves a recreational function. It is located on Kamzík Hill in the western part of the Little Carpathians in Bratislava.

The Malá Vydrica Spring, also known as Bystrička, is the source of a right-hand tributary of the well-known Little Carpathian stream – Vydrica. This spring is hidden relatively deep within the forests of Bratislava’s Forest Park, making it not only a good source of water but also an interesting destination for a short trip. No matter which part of Bratislava you start from, the path to the spring takes you through the beautiful nooks and corners of the local forest.
Frenki's Trail is a pleasant forest path located in the Kačín area near the Kováčova Vila Forester’s Cabin. It’s perfect for lovers of forest tranquility and romantic walks.

The path winds through picturesque corners of the forest, offering a relaxing stroll and a lovely experience of nature.
The concrete bunker on Odborárska Street, in the area of the Dimitrovka Chemical Plant, is part of the German military fortifications of Bratislava from World War II.
