Gita in bici di un giorno da Gbely a Bratislava

Cycling Route: Gbely to Bratislava

Ready for a long ride? This route takes you from Gbely, a peaceful town nestled near the Morava River (famous for its oil fields and bird reserves), all the way to Slovakia’s lively capital, Bratislava. You’ll clock in a sturdy 107 km—definitely a full-day adventure, but absolutely doable for those used to longer distances!

Starting in Gbely’s calm countryside, you’ll spin through a variety of surfaces. Most of your ride is smooth, paved or asphalt—ideal for road bikes—though expect some stretches (about 14%) of gravel and unpaved paths that add a fun bit of challenge. With around 718 meters of climbing (but a tad more descending!), you’ll get some great views, especially as you hit the higher segments.

You’ll mostly cruise on quiet rural roads and occasional tracks, far from heavy traffic. Roll past quaint villages and farmland, soak up the scenery, and before you know it, you’ll glide into Bratislava, where the Danube, castles, and vibrant city vibes await. Perfect for anyone eager to see Slovakia’s changing character—from serene fields to bustling urban streets—all on two wheels!
