Gita in bici di un giorno da Čadca a Terchová

Kick off your ride in Čadca, a friendly Slovak town nestled at the confluence of three rivers, famous as a gateway to the picturesque Kysuce region. From here, prepare for a journey full of rolling hills and forest views as you work your way toward the scenic village of Terchová—birthplace of Slovak folk hero Juraj Jánošík, and your destination.

Over nearly 59 km, you’ll rack up almost 2,000 meters of climbing, making this route a solid challenge for seasoned cyclists. The path is a pleasant well-mixed bag: most is on paved and asphalt surfaces, but don’t be surprised by stretches of gravel or unpaved track that bring a dash of adventure. Quiet country roads and dedicated cycleways will let you soak in the mountain scenery (and catch your breath between climbs!).

Arriving in Terchová, treat yourself to classic Slovak hospitality—or a hike in the majestic Malá Fatra mountains that tower above. Whether you’re chasing Strava segments or just the next great view, this route offers a memorable day out in northern Slovakia.
