Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Trenčín à Bánovce nad Bebravou

Ready for an adventurous ride? This route takes you from the historic town of Trenčín—famous for its medieval castle perched high above the Váh River—all the way to Bánovce nad Bebravou, a picturesque town tucked in the foothills.

Covering about 46 km, the ride isn’t just a gentle cruise—expect over 1,000 meters in climbing, and the scenery to change from urban vibes through rolling hills and forested stretches. You’ll be switching it up with a range of surfaces, from smooth asphalt to gravel and unpaved tracks, so a sturdy bike and a sense of adventure are both a must.

The ups and downs guarantee great views, especially as you crest nearly 924 meters above sea level at the highest point. Much of the route follows quiet backroads and tracks, making for a peaceful escape from traffic. At the finish, be sure to explore Bánovce’s charming town center—perfect for a post-ride coffee.
