Rejoining the main line at Kralovan, we arrive in a short time at Fenyohaza, lying at the mouth of the Lubochna. It is a health-resort, established by the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, with several large hotels, beautiful private villas, and hydropathic establishment; glorious woods surround this town, which is assured of a prosperous future.

The railway continues to mount the Vag, passes the Barathegy (Monk's Hill), with its curious cave, and arrives at the small town of Rozsahegy, beautifully situated, with an interesting Church, and large industrial establishments. Of these we must mention the Textile factory with its 3,300 work-people, a large Celluloid factory, a paper factory and a spinning-mill. 24 kilometres to the south of this town, at the foot of the Prasiva Mountains lies the health-resort Korytnicza, surrounded by forests, and not far from there, a splendid road, which leads over the Sturecz-Sattel (1010 meters) to Beszterczebanya.
