Gita in bici di un giorno da Košice a Sečovce

This scenic cycling route takes you from the lively city of Košice to the smaller town of Sečovce, covering just under 61 km. Starting in Košice—Slovakia’s second-largest city, known for its impressive St. Elisabeth Cathedral and vibrant café culture—you’ll gradually leave the urban buzz behind.

The ride features a mix of surfaces, with the majority missing from the map but expect both paved and unpaved sections. There are a few gravel and concrete stretches, so a bike with wider tires is a good idea for comfort. You’ll face a fair amount of climbing early on (over 600 meters total ascent), but the route gently descends afterwards, maxing out around 337 meters elevation.

Much of your route flows along quiet roads and the occasional cycleway, letting you enjoy the rural Slovak landscape in peace. As you approach Sečovce, prepare for a relaxed finish in this historic market town, which has roots going back to the 13th century. Grab a coffee or explore its charming little squares before you head back or call it a day.
