Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Ružomberok à Liptovský Mikuláš

This cycling route takes you from the historic town of Ružomberok to the lively hub of Liptovský Mikuláš—both nestled in the heart of Slovakia’s scenic Liptov region. Spanning just over 52 km, the ride is perfect for adventurous cyclists looking for a blend of challenge and panoramic views. Expect a total ascent of around 876 meters; there are a few hearty climbs, but you’ll be rewarded with stunning glimpses of the surrounding mountains.

You’ll roll along a variety of surfaces: from smooth asphalt and paved roads to chunks of gravel and rugged tracks (so a sturdy bike is a plus!). Most of the route is peaceful, winding along quiet country roads and tracks—ideal for soaking up the mountain air away from the traffic.

Ružomberok itself is known for its charming old town and as a gateway to the Great Fatra mountains. Your destination, Liptovský Mikuláš, sits by the lovely Liptovská Mara reservoir and bustles with cafes, museums, and outdoor activities. All in all, it’s a ride full of diverse scenery, a bit of effort, and a satisfying dose of Slovak adventure!
