Excursión ciclista de un día de Gelnica a Košice

Get ready for a memorable ride from Gelnica to Košice! Starting in Gelnica, a charming former mining town tucked in lush Slovak hills, you’ll tackle about 65 km of mixed-surface adventure. Expect a good mix of paved and gravel paths, weaving through forested tracks and scenic valleys.

You’ll gain some serious elevation (over 2,400 meters!), so bring your climbing legs. Much of the journey flows along quiet roads and forest trails, making it perfect if you want to escape the bustle and enjoy nature. There are some longer stretches on gravel and forest tracks, with occasional rougher surfaces, so a sturdy bike is a bonus.

Your ride finishes in Košice, Slovakia’s second largest city, famous for its vibrant old town and the stunning St. Elisabeth Cathedral. After your hilly adventure, reward yourself with a walk through the medieval center or a coffee at one of the many lively cafés.

Tip: Pack snacks, check your brakes for the winding descents, and keep your camera handy for the epic views along the way!
