Quick ride by bicycle from Liptovský Mikuláš to Liptovský Hrádok

This scenic ride takes you from the lively town of Liptovský Mikuláš to the gateway of the Low Tatras, Liptovský Hrádok—a comfortable 15 km spin through the beautiful Liptov region. Starting in Mikuláš, famous for its proximity to mountain adventures and attractions like the Janko Kráľ Museum, you’ll quickly find yourself on mostly quiet roads and pleasant cycleways, perfect for (almost) zoning out.

The route is gentle, with just a bit of an uphill push and mostly friendly terrain—expect a mix of asphalt, gravel, and some unpaved sections that add a hint of adventure. Take in classic Slovak valley views, with the mountains framing your ride and the Váh river not far off.

As you roll into Liptovský Hrádok, you’ll be greeted by its castle ruins perched on a rocky outcrop—worth a quick stop for a photo or a snack at a local café. Whether you’re a local or just exploring, this is a fun, low-key ride showing off some of Slovakia’s loveliest landscapes.
