By bicycle from Nová Lesná to Vysoké Tatry

Get ready for some gorgeous Tatra views on this short but punchy ride! Starting in the charming village of Nová Lesná, known for its access to mountain adventures and panoramic High Tatras vistas, you’ll pedal just under 8 km along mostly smooth asphalt. As you climb a steady 211 meters (don’t worry, it’s not all at once), the scenery really does the heavy lifting—think alpine meadows, forests, and those dramatic peaks in the background.

The ride is mostly on quiet tracks, perfect for soaking it all in without much traffic. There’s a touch of descent, but the main event is the gentle ascent as you get closer to your destination: Vysoké Tatry, often called the “gateway to the Slovak Alps.” Once you roll into town, you’re right in the heart of hiking, cycling, and skiing territory.

It’s not a long ride, so you can take your time, snap some photos, and just enjoy the mountain air. Perfect for kickstarting an adventure or winding down a day in this stunning Slovak region!
