Cycling day trip from Trebišov to Košice

Set off from Trebišov, a charming town in eastern Slovakia with a rich history and an imposing castle, and pedal your way toward the vibrant city of Košice, the country’s second-largest city. This nearly 100 km ride is an adventure across the Slovak countryside. Be prepared for a bit of climbing—about 1000 meters of ascent await you, but the payoff is worth it with rolling views and peaceful roads.

The route favors quiet backroads and farm tracks, so you’ll often find yourself practically alone with the scenery. Around 37% of the ride is paved, but expect a mix—there will be short sections of unpaved and concrete surfaces, so a sturdy touring or gravel bike is your friend here.

When you roll into Košice, don’t miss the famous St. Elisabeth’s Cathedral—Europe’s easternmost Gothic cathedral—and the lively cafés along Hlavná ulica. Perfect for refueling after your rural adventure!
