Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Poprad do Dobszyna

Ready for a real cycling adventure? The route from Poprad to Dobšiná is a challenging yet rewarding ride through Slovakia’s wild heart. Starting in Poprad—a lively town known as the “gateway to the High Tatras”—you’ll quickly swap urban scenery for rugged, rolling hills.

Clocking in at around 69 km, the route is far from flat, boasting over 2,100 meters of climbing and even more descending. You’ll max out at 1,037 meters elevation, so expect plenty of big views (and a few steep grinds!). More than half your journey unrolls along unpaved or gravel tracks—perfect for gravel or adventure bikes. Paved stretches are few and far between, keeping things tranquil and traffic-light.

You’ll pedal through forests, fields, and tucked-away valleys, perhaps catching glimpses of local wildlife. Plan for a bumpy and wild ride—it’s remote, so pack food, water, and basic tools.

Rolling into Dobšiná, you’re at the edge of the Slovak Paradise, famous for the stunning Dobšiná Ice Cave nearby. Celebrate your ride with a well-earned rest, maybe even a sweet Slovak pastry at a local café.
