Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Nitra à Zlaté Moravce

This scenic cycling route takes you from the historic city of Nitra to the charming town of Zlaté Moravce, covering just over 54 km. You’ll weave your way through the hills of western Slovakia, so get ready for some climbs—the total ascent is almost 950 meters! It’s a perfect ride if you enjoy mixing quiet country roads and gravel tracks, with about half the path on paved surfaces and the rest offering that fun, off-the-beaten-track vibe.

Starting in Nitra, make sure to check out the Nitra Castle before you head out—it’s one of Slovakia’s oldest cities with a rich medieval history. As you ride north, you’ll pass through rolling farmland and wooded patches, with some rewarding views from the higher spots (the max elevation is around 400 meters).

When you roll into Zlaté Moravce, you’ll find a peaceful small town known for its relaxed pace and local wine tradition. Grab a local treat and enjoy the sense of accomplishment—this route is a fantastic mix of nature, culture, and a bit of a workout!
