Cycling day trip from Dubnica nad Váhom to Trenčín

Set off from the lively town of Dubnica nad Váhom, known for its beautiful parks and relaxed vibe, and head southwest toward Trenčín—a city famous for its impressive castle perched on a rocky hill above the Váh river. The ride is about 22 km and fairly gentle, with a modest climb of 173 meters and slightly less descent.

Most of your journey rolls over smooth paved and asphalt surfaces, with brief forays into cobblestones and concrete—just enough to keep things interesting, but your tires will be happy for most of the way. The route mostly follows paths and quiet roads, so you can enjoy the countryside and forests without the stress of heavy traffic.

Approaching Trenčín, you’ll catch sight of the castle tower in the distance—a fantastic photo op and your reward for the ride. Both towns are packed with history, cafés, and riverbank views, making this route a perfect day out for casual cyclists or anyone looking to mix a bit of sightseeing with their exercise.
