Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Prešov à Lipany

This route takes you from Prešov, one of Slovakia’s oldest cities known for its charming historic center and vibrant student life, up to Lipany, a cozy little town in the Sabinov district. You’ll cover just over 36 km — perfect for a scenic half-day ride!

After rolling out of bustling Prešov, you’ll quickly find yourself pedaling through gentle countryside, with most of your route (about 90%) on smooth pavement. Expect a mix of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways; only a tiny portion takes you onto gravel or other surfaces, giving you a comfortable ride.

There’s a gradual ascent of around 375 meters, but nothing too steep — just enough to keep things interesting and reward you with lovely views.

Arriving in Lipany, you’ll find a friendly town surrounded by forests and rolling hills, a great spot to grab a snack and relax before heading back or hopping on a train. It’s a satisfying blend of urban energy, peaceful nature, and Slovak village charm all in one ride!
