Excursión ciclista de un día de Vysoké Tatry a Štrba

Ready for a ride through Slovakia’s mountain magic? This route starts in Vysoké Tatry, a gateway to the High Tatras, famous for their dramatic peaks and fresh alpine air. You’ll pedal about 37 km to Strba, a charming village at the foot of the mountains—perfect for soaking in those peaceful, rural vibes.

Most of your journey glides along paved and asphalt surfaces, making it a pretty smooth ride—with just a tiny taste of unpaved adventure. Expect a moderate challenge: there’s around 445 meters of ascent and nearly 485 meters of descent, so you’ll work the legs but get plenty of sweet downhill, too. Traffic won’t bother you much, as the route mixes cycle paths, quiet roads, and a few scenic tracks.

Don’t forget to stop and snap some photos of the Tatras in the distance—they’re some of the most stunning in Central Europe. And when you arrive in Strba, reward yourself with some local treats or a stroll around the picturesque village square. Happy cycling!
