Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Zvolen
Zvolen is a railway and forestry town in the middle of Slovakia, where the Hron and Slatina rivers meet in a broad basin ringed by the volcanic hills of the Slovak Ore Mountains. It is not a famous place, and it does not try to be. Instead it is practical, with a big university of forestry and technology, trains running in all directions, and a large number of people who work with wood and trees.
