Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Spišská Nová Ves à Poprad

Here’s a relaxed and scenic cycling route connecting Spišská Nová Ves to Poprad, covering a little over 36 km. You’ll start off in Spišská Nová Ves, famous for having the widest main square in Slovakia and some beautiful Gothic architecture peeking at you from every corner. As you roll out, most of your ride winds along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, keeping things peaceful (with barely any busy roads).

You’ll get a good workout with a total ascent of just over 420 meters, but the climbs aren’t too intimidating—perfect for taking in views of the Slovak countryside. Expect a mix of surfaces: though nearly half the ride is on smooth asphalt, you’ll hit some gravel and dirt tracks, so wider tires are a plus.

Your journey wraps up in Poprad, often called the gateway to the High Tatras. If you’ve still got energy left, explore the old town square or relax at one of the local cafés. This route is a great choice for riders who want a taste of the region’s charm away from busy roads.
