The Veľký Draždiak [1] is a lake and natural bathing area in Petržalka, Bratislava. It was created around 1982 as a summer resort through gravel extraction and deepening of the original body of water, which the indigenous people of Petržalka called „Šutrovka“. The lake is located in district V of Bratislava, between the Croatian branch and the grounds of the St. Cyril and Methodius Hospital on Antolská Street. Its water surface is 13 hectares, and besides bathers, numerous swans, ducks, and other waterfowl live here.

From the cycle path along the B9, a sweeping view opens up over fields toward Bratislava. The route runs mostly flat through open agricultural landscapes, allowing unobstructed vistas. Between the green fields, the silhouette of the city of Bratislava with its striking buildings can be seen in the distance. Especially in clear weather, the view appears expansive and flooded with light, and the open landscape conveys a sense of peace and space as you leisurely cycle along the cycle path.
