Cycling day trip from Krupina to Zvolen

This cycling route takes you from the cozy town of Krupina to the lively city of Zvolen, weaving through the scenic heart of central Slovakia. Covering about 41.5 km, the ride is a blend of quiet country roads and adventurous tracks, with more than half the surfaces unpaved. You’ll climb up to roughly 748 meters above sea level, so get ready for some serious (but rewarding!) ups and downs, rolling through forested hills and wide-open fields.

Krupina is one of Slovakia’s oldest towns, known for its medieval layout and chilled vibe, perfect for a coffee before you set off. The journey finishes in Zvolen, a historic hub famous for its imposing castle and vibrant energy. Most of the ride avoids busy roads, so you’ll really get to soak in the countryside. With everything from smooth asphalt to rutted gravel and woodland paths, this is ideal for gravel or adventure bikes. Don’t forget water and snacks—the route is remote in parts, and the climbs will make you earn your views! Enjoy the ride!
