Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Banská Bystrica à Zvolen

This ride takes you from the lively center of Banská Bystrica to the historic town of Zvolen, covering about 32 km. Banská Bystrica, famous for its medieval square, is a great place to start—grab a coffee in the main square before you roll out. The route is a pleasant mix of paved and gravel surfaces, sticking mostly to quiet roads and tracks, so you can expect a peaceful ride with only a few cars along the way.

You'll cruise through some gentle hills, with just under 185 meters of climbing and a bit more in descent, making it overall a friendly ride, even if you’re not a mountain goat. With stretches through the Slovak countryside, expect lovely scenery and possibly some forest sections. Finishing in Zvolen, don’t miss the impressive Zvolen Castle or a stroll through the town center. It’s a great point-to-point route for anyone keen to explore central Slovakia on two wheels!
