Cycling day trip from Spišská Nová Ves to Krompachy

Get ready for an adventurous ride from Spišská Nová Ves to Krompachy! Starting in Spišská Nová Ves, a charming town known for its historic square and beautiful church tower, you’ll pedal about 35 km through rolling hills and scenic woodland. This route packs in nearly 1,000 meters of climbing — perfect if you’re looking to stretch your legs and get in some solid hill work.

Along the way, you’ll be mostly off the beaten path: over half the journey covers tracks and about a quarter takes you onto gravel or unpaved sections, so a gravel or mountain bike is your best bet. Expect a mix of quiet rural roads and forest tracks, with only short stretches on asphalt. It’s a great escape into nature, especially if you love traffic-free cycling and don’t mind getting a little dusty.

You’ll finish in Krompachy, a small town with a mining history tucked among the hills. If you have time, reward yourself with a local snack or check out the nearby ski slopes. All in all, it’s a fun and rewarding ride through eastern Slovakia’s Slovenský Raj region!
