Cycling day trip from Poprad to Spišská Nová Ves

This scenic cycling route takes you from Poprad, a gateway to the High Tatras and famous for its cozy cafés and mountain views, all the way to Spišská Nová Ves—a historical town known for its impressive main square and the tallest church tower in Slovakia.

You’ll cover about 37 km, with a gentle ascent of just over 200 meters, followed by a breezy descent of more than 400 meters. The ride is mostly on paved and asphalt roads, blended with some longer sections of quieter roads and cycleways—perfect for those who like a little bit of everything. Along the route, you’ll pedal through small villages and scenic Slovak landscapes, perhaps catching glimpses of the hills that frame the region.

Don’t miss exploring both towns before and after your ride: Poprad’s old town is charming, and Spišská Nová Ves is the perfect spot for a post-ride treat in one of its friendly bakeries. Bring a camera and enjoy the journey!
