Cycling day trip from Dobšiná to Poprad

This cycling route gives you a real taste of Slovakia’s wild side, with plenty of ups, downs, and mixed surfaces. You’ll kick things off in Dobšiná—a charming town known as the gateway to the Slovak Paradise National Park. Get ready for a challenge: there’s a fair bit of climbing, but that means stunning views as you reach elevations just above 1,000 meters.

The route is a mix—expect everything from quiet roads and gravel tracks to some classic Slovak unpaved paths. About 40% is solid pavement, but there’s adventure on the unpaved and gravel sections, so wider tires are a plus.

You’ll wind your way north, passing through rolling hills and forests, eventually heading towards Poprad. Known as the “gateway to the High Tatras,” this vibrant town is perfect for a post-ride chill with mountain views and plenty of spots to refuel. With just under 70 km, it’s a ride for explorers looking for a mix of surfaces and epic scenery. Don’t forget your camera—the views won’t disappoint!
