Cycling has experienced a boom in Slovakia in recent years and fortunately the country has many places worth biking.
Over 3,000 kilometres of marked cycling routes exist in the Žilina Region and new ones are still being created. Moreover, cycling buses connect various regions so you do not have to pedal from Žilina to Turiec on a bike, for example, but you can take a convenient ride on a bus and start your cycling tour right at the spot.
In the north of Slovakia, in the area of Malá Fatra, Rajecká Dolina valley, Turiec, Orava, Kysuce and Liptov, cyclists who do not fear hills or who have e-bikes will enjoy the rides. Every region also has easier paths for families with children or those looking for a pleasant pedal.

The route is suitable for families with children - there is only about 120 meters of elevation gain on the entire cycle path. In addition, the road crosses the cycle path only in a few places, so cyclists can feel safe here. Read More...
