Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Nižná do Trstená

This scenic bike route takes you from the friendly village of Nižná to the charming town of Trstená, winding just under 14 km through the rolling Orava countryside of northern Slovakia. Along the way, you’ll gain about 150 meters in elevation, so expect a few mild climbs that keep things interesting, but nothing too daunting.

Around half of the route meanders over quiet roads and a mix of paths and tracks—so be prepared for unpaved stretches, especially gravel and some natural ground, giving the ride a bit of an adventure vibe. With only a tiny portion crossing busy roads, you’ll mostly enjoy peaceful surroundings, including pastoral fields and shady woodlands.

Nižná is a cozy spot on the Orava River, known for its traditional Slovak character. Your ride wraps up in Trstená, a lovely small town near the Polish border, with a pretty main square and historic church—worth a quick stroll and maybe a coffee before you head home. This route is perfect for riders looking to enjoy rural Slovakia at a relaxed pace.
