Sortie rapide à vélo de Žilina à Krasňany

Set off from Žilina, a lively city nestled at the confluence of Váh, Kysuca, and Rajčanka rivers, and make your way east towards the charming village of Krasňany. This 15.6 km stretch is perfect for a relaxed ride: you’ll cruise mostly on dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, with over 80% of the route on smooth asphalt and just a hint of cobblestones for character.

The route is mostly gentle—expect about 82 meters of ascent, so it’s nothing too taxing, but enough to keep things interesting. As you leave Žilina’s urban buzz behind, you’ll ride through scenic countryside, catching views of rolling hills and cozy Slovak villages along the way.

Krasňany awaits at the finish: a peaceful spot on the edge of the Malá Fatra mountains, great for unwinding or exploring local hiking paths if you still have energy. All in all, it’s a friendly ride connecting city culture with rural charm—and plenty of fresh air in between!
