Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Marianka do Svätý Jur

Ready for a scenic ride? This route takes you from the peaceful pilgrimage village of Marianka—one of Slovakia’s oldest Marian shrines nestled at the base of the Little Carpathians—to the historic wine town of Svätý Jur. The ride is around 20 km long, weaving through a mix of mostly paved and quiet roads, with some gravel for that little bit of adventure.

Expect rolling ascents and descents—the highest point tops out at about 560 meters, so you'll get a decent workout (climbing over 540 meters!). The route hugs forested hills and sweeps past vineyards, offering great views over Bratislava and the surrounding countryside.

Marianka is an ideal spot to start, with its tranquil forested setting, while Svätý Jur will reward you at the end with charming medieval streets and plenty of chances to sample local wine. Great for riders looking for a mix of nature, history, and a touch of challenge. Don’t forget your camera!
