From Kormoczbanya, the railway continues for some time uphill, reaching its highest point at Mount Janos (769 meters): then it descends rapidly into the Turocz Plain, where it passes the watering-place Stubnyafurdo, and the little town Turocz-Szentmarton, centre of the intellectual life of the Slovacs, with an interesting Museum of Ethnography and Domestic Industry.

In the Turocz Plain we imagine ourselves in a beautiful garden surrounded by high mountains. Lastly we reach Ruttka, where the State railway rejoins the Kaschau-Oderberg Line.
