Michal was the best tour guide! He has a deep knowledge of the culture, history, politics, and people of Czechia, and he made sure we were very well cared for every step of the way. Michal always shared the plan for each day but asked for our input, which made the tour feel very personalized. He chose wonderful restaurants and even helped us order items on the menu that were unfamiliar to us. He seemed as excited to see each site as we were, and he explained every special place with insight and enthusiasm. Michal made the whole trip a lot of fun and extremely memorable.

This was a tough but thoroughly enjoyable trip in a very beautiful part of the world. The challenging grade is about right; be prepared for a lot of rocky steep ascent and descent including a fair amount of scrambling and using fixed cables/chains. Some parts (particularly the ascent to La Om on Day 4 and the ridge along the top) are pretty exposed. There is a good mix of tougher and somewhat easier days to break things up with some nice forest and meadow sections. The reward is some amazing scenery in a relatively unspoilt part of the world. The whole trip was very well organised and accommodation at Villa Hermani was very clean and comfortable, with friendly hosts and great food. The mountain huts were a good experience but be prepared for very basic toilet and sanitary facilities.

'Every known superstition in the world is gathered into the Carpathians, as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool.' So says the narrator of Dracula, the late 19th century English novel of Victorian superstitions that used this area of Romania to represent something on the edge of civilisation.
A trip to this part of the world is to enter a maelstrom of natural sensation. There is everywhere a bewildering mass of flora and fauna. Profusions of trees and flowers and grasses are barely touched by agricultural exploitation. Be alert, however, for roe deer and chamois and hedgehogs and rodents, plus the sight and sound of the area's 190 bird species. Transylvania is a region full of beauty of every kind, sometimes little towns or castles on the top of steep hills.
This trek rises daily through Carpathian lower reaches, a green land full of forests and woods, with here steep hills crowned with clumps of trees, and there villages newly built in a riot of colour and style. Smile and say Boo Naa (Hello) and you'll meet open-faced strangers who say all the country people show 'hospitality, flexibility, honesty'. The message is that tourists are welcome.
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.
