Gita in bici di un giorno da Štrba a Hybe

If you’re up for an adventure in the foothills of the High Tatras, this cycling route from Štrba to Hybe is a perfect pick. Starting in Štrba—a charming village known for its gateway to the High Tatras and proximity to the scenic Štrbské Pleso—you’ll roll through about 37 km of mixed surfaces. Expect a bit of everything: mostly asphalt, but there’s enough gravel and track to keep things interesting.

The route serves up a hearty 950 meters of climbing, but the descents are even longer, so get ready for some thrilling downhills. The journey winds you amidst mountain views, quiet roads, and wooded tracks, taking you through tranquil rural areas before you finish in Hybe. Hybe is a sleepy village with a rich mining history and traditional Slovak architecture, offering a perfect spot to wind down after your ride.

With long stretches of peaceful tracks and only brief moments on busier roads, you’ll have plenty of time to soak in the mountain air and maybe even spot some wildlife. Don’t forget your camera—and maybe some snacks for the ride!
