Excursión ciclista de un día de Košice a Medzev

This scenic cycling adventure takes you from the vibrant city of Košice—the second-largest city in Slovakia and known for its gorgeous Gothic cathedral—all the way to the peaceful town of Medzev, nestled in the rolling hills of eastern Slovakia.

Covering around 60 km, the route is a real treat for cyclists who enjoy mixed surfaces and a bit of a challenge. Expect a good mix of quiet country roads, gravel tracks, and forest paths. About 22% of the route is unpaved, so a gravel or mountain bike is your best friend here. You’ll clock in over 540 meters of climbing, but the gentle gradients and lovely rural landscapes make it worthwhile.

As you roll out of Košice, you’ll quickly leave the city bustle behind and wind your way through scenic villages, woodlands, and fields. Medzev is a charming little town with a strong German heritage—definitely grab a coffee or some local treats when you arrive!

Perfect for adventurous riders looking to soak up the Slovak countryside and enjoy a quieter side of the region.
