Cycling day trip from Liptovský Mikuláš to Pribylina

This scenic cycling route takes you from the lively town of Liptovský Mikuláš—famous as the gateway to the Tatra Mountains and a hub for outdoor adventure—to the picturesque mountain village of Pribylina.

The journey covers just over 20 km and is perfect for a half-day ride. You’ll leave the Low Tatras behind, rolling through a mix of quiet roads, rural tracks, and stretches of pretty decent asphalt. Expect a gentle but steady climb of around 240 meters, with a few short gravel or unpaved sections that add a dash of adventure (but most bikes will handle it fine).

Along the way, you’ll catch glimpses of the lush Liptov countryside, dotted with sheep pastures and views of the surrounding hills. Pribylina, your destination, is known for its open-air museum showcasing traditional Slovak rural life—a great place to unwind and explore if you have time.

Tip: Pack a snack and enjoy a laid-back pace; this route is less about speed and more about soaking up classic Slovak nature and village charm!
