In bici da Marianka a Bratislava

Hit the road from Marianka—a charming village at the edge of the Small Carpathians known for its pilgrimage site and peaceful vibe. From here, you’ll cruise through about 19 km of mostly quiet roads and mingle with a mix of smooth asphalt and a bit of gravel, so a hybrid or gravel bike is your friend.

The route throws in a bit of a workout, with over 500 meters of ascent, but you’re rewarded with some sweet descending on the way to Bratislava’s city buzz. This ride has a chill, countryside start surrounded by woods and fields, then gradually pulls you into urban life as you approach Slovakia’s lively capital.

Expect mostly paved paths, ideal for an enjoyable cruise, with just enough unpaved sections to keep things interesting. As you roll under Bratislava Castle or pass the Danube, pat yourself on the back for connecting history and city in one ride!
