Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Dolný Kubín do Orawskie Zamki

This scenic ride starts in Dolný Kubín, a charming town nestled along the Orava River and known for its picturesque town square and wooden architecture. The route to Oravský Podzámok covers nearly 13 km, winding through a mix of quiet country roads and tracks—perfect for cyclists who want a bit of adventure but mostly smooth sailing.

You’ll pedal through some rolling hills (expect a total ascent of around 340 meters), so get ready for lovely views—and a bit of a workout! Much of the route is paved, but keep your eyes out for a few rougher patches with missing surfaces (nothing a hybrid or gravel bike can’t handle). As you approach your destination, the iconic silhouette of Orava Castle rises above the village of Oravský Podzámok. This fairytale fortress is one of Slovakia’s most impressive castles and well worth a visit.

In short, this ride blends cultural highlights, a bit of a climb, and peaceful countryside—ideal for a casual day out. Grab a coffee at the start, and definitely bring your camera for the castle panorama at the finish!
