If you can, take an extra day at each end of the trip. Everyone in my group loved both Prague and Budapest! Could’ve spent a week in each city on this trip, but we saw the highlights and had a variety of experiences that made it definitely worthwhile.
TD and driver were so much fun and made our trip even better.

On this bike tour, you’ll discover why Slovakia is affectionately known as the “Little Big Country.” From the towering Carpathian Mountains in the north to the farm-covered Danubian plains in the south, we ride on gravel trails through dense forests, climb over scenic passes, and enjoy quiet views of the rustic countryside. The cherry on top: a classic ride along the Danube to reach Budapest. While the route offers diverse challenges, the pace remains unhurried, allowing ample time to explore heritage sites, unwind in old town squares, and savor local delicacies.
We meet by the scenic montane lake of Strbske Pleso and head west through the wilds of High Tatras National Park. Our route then takes us into the heart of Slovakia, cycling amidst a terrain of low-rising, forested mountains and pasture-filled valleys. We visit the isolated, historic village of Vlkolínec and spend a night in the town of Banska Stiavnica, renowned for its legacy of gold and silver mining during the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A final downhill takes us out of the Carpathian Mountains and into the wide, open plains of southern Slovakia. We cross the mighty Danube and follow its course on the Hungarian side from Esztergom, home to Hungary’s most splendid Catholic basilica, to the glittering, stately capital city of Budapest. The tour ends in Budapest.
Join us on this finely-tuned Central European bike tour from the Carpathians to the Danube!
Combine this tour with “Cycling Krakow to High Tatras” and make it a 15-day, three-country journey from the heights of the Carpathians to the banks of the Danube! Departure dates are aligned to continue from the same hotel in Strbske Pleso. Click here to see the tour details.
