À vélo de Krasňany à Žilina

Set off from the peaceful village of Krasňany, tucked at the foot of the Malá Fatra mountains, and cruise towards the lively city of Žilina. The route is just over 15 km, mostly along smooth asphalt and dedicated cycleways, making it perfect for a relaxed ride—no need to worry about busy roads here!

You’ll pass through scenic countryside, with a gentle overall descent (and just a little bit of ascent to keep things interesting), so it’s a nice option even if you’re not looking for a workout. Most of your ride will be quiet and car-free—great for soaking in the fresh air.

As you near Žilina, you’ll approach one of northern Slovakia’s key cities, jam-packed with history, cafés, and a pretty central square. It’s a fun mix of urban buzz and laid-back riding, taking you from village tranquility to city energy in under an hour. Pack a snack, bring your camera, and enjoy the ride!
