The new bike trail will partially cover existing trails (such as EuroVelo). yet also there will be brand new sections crossing protected nature areas (national parks and reserves). the trail should also pass the most important historic structures made of wood, or mineral water springs. the purpose behind the construction of the trail is to open the Slovak-Polish border area to tourists.

The bike trail should join the towns of Krynica, Muszyna, Piwniczna, Szczawnica, Vysne Ruzbachy, Stara Lubovňa, Lubovnianske Lazne, Bardejov, and Lazne Bardejov. Added value to the biking trail makes its connection to the existing bike trail of „Historical, cultural, and nature beauties around the Tatras", in the village of Hniezdne. the bike trail will feature  some minor architectonic structures, 50 information panels, several restrooms, resting areas with bike stands, benches etc. for the most part, the trail will be layed with asphalt. at some sections, grinded stone cover will be used. the entire trail should be open by the end of the year 2018.
