Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Ružomberok à Dolný Kubín

Ready for a ride packed with scenic mountain vibes and a little leg-burning adventure? Set off from Ružomberok, a lively town surrounded by the picturesque Veľká Fatra mountains, famous for its charming town center and vibes of Slovak culture. Your route to Dolný Kubín covers nearly 40 kilometers—don’t be fooled, there’s serious climbing involved!

Expect about 1600 meters of ascent, taking you up to over 1000 meters elevation. A good chunk of the route rides along forest tracks mixed with quiet roads, with surfaces ranging from smooth asphalt to stretches of gravel and even some out-of-the-way paths. Be ready for those “adventure gravel” sections—just part of the fun!

Once you roll into Dolný Kubín, you’ll be greeted by another cozy Slovak town, nestled along the Orava river and known for its wooden architecture and mountain backdrop. Bring a camera for the stunning views, and enjoy the ride—this isn’t just a route, it’s an experience through the heart of northern Slovakia!
