Cycling day trip from Prešov to Sabinov

Ready for a scenic spin between two charming Slovak towns? Start your ride in Prešov, the third-largest city in Slovakia, known for its beautiful historical center and relaxed café culture. The route to Sabinov covers about 22km and is mostly on smooth asphalt—a treat for your wheels with roughly 75% of the way following dedicated cycle paths. There’s a gentle climb (about 267 meters ascent overall), but nothing too dramatic, and you’ll be rewarded with some great countryside views along the way.

You’ll pedal mostly through quiet, peaceful roads with the occasional stretch of paving stones (watch those bumps!), and you’ll skirt just a tiny bit of missing pavement. After 22 kilometers, you’ll roll into Sabinov—a picturesque small town with lovely squares and plenty of places to grab a snack or ice cream. Bonus tip: Prešov and Sabinov both have rich histories—Sabinov even featured in an Oscar-winning film! Happy cycling!
