Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Kysucké Nové Mesto à Čadca

Roll out from Kysucké Nové Mesto by the Kysuca River and head north through the Kysuce valley. The route strings together riverside cycleway and quiet backroads, with a few short climbs that kick you up onto farm tracks and ridgelets before dropping back to the water. It’s about 31.6 km with roughly 620 m of ascent, topping out around 663 m—nothing huge, but you’ll feel a couple of punchy ramps.

Surfaces are mixed: mostly paved with some compact gravel (about 15%), so 32–35 mm tires are perfect. Expect low traffic for long stretches, with brief busier bits near town centers.

You’ll pass through a chain of Kysuce villages and meadows before rolling into Čadca, the district hub close to both the Czech and Polish borders—handy rail connections and plenty of spots for a post-ride coffee. Fun fact: Kysucké Nové Mesto and Čadca anchor the scenic “Kysucká” cycling corridor, making it easy to extend your ride deeper into the Kysucké Beskydy if you’ve still got legs.
