Are you looking for a stunning cycling route with views like in the Alps<\/strong>. How about the Tatra Mountains – a mountain range on the border between Poland and Slovakia that you can cycle around within a few days?\u00a0I recently did the famous Around the Tatra loop and can safely call it one of the best cycling routes in Poland and Slovakia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Tatra Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the highest mountain range, the Tatras have a special place in Polish culture. With their cragged peaks, alpine-like vistas, and unique folklore, they are one of the most popular holiday destinations for most Poles. It’s in the Tatras where I did my first more technically challenging hike, where I discovered my fear of heights and where my love for the mountains began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highest peaks of the Tatras, which reach over 2,600 m, attract thousands of hikers and climbers every year. Yet, the main ridge of the High Tatra Mountains is only about 80 km long, making it the smallest high mountain range in the world. Thanks to the compact size, you can easily cycle around the Tatras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cycle Route Around the Tatra Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea for a cycle route around the Tatra Mountains emerged in the early 2000s, when municipalities on both the Slovak and Polish sides of the region decided to create a loop that would allow cyclists, skiers, and runners to safely access the most beautiful and unique places in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the route circumnavigates the highest mountain range of both countries, it doesn’t require superhuman athletic strength. There is a fair share of climbs, of course, but none of them are so long or steep that a reasonably fit cyclist wouldn’t be able to handle them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll cycle along rivers, through cute hanging bridges, on quiet gravel roads and among green pastures where cows and sheeps peacefully graze. The majestic summits of the Tatra Mountains will keep you company almost all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
