Explore the region stress-free!

The Váh Cycle Route is under construction and will be a dedicated cycling path, separate from motorised traffic wherever possible. This means more safety, peace of mind and time to enjoy the views of the Váh River and the surrounding nature.

Once completed, the cycle route in the Trenčín Region will be around 100 kilometres long and will connect the region with the Trnava and Žilina regions. It is therefore gradually becoming one of the most attractive cycling routes in Slovakia.

One route, countless experiences!

• Dubnica Castle
• Beckov Castle, with its romantic silhouette above the Váh River.
• Čachtice Castle and Drašković Manor house, a place steeped in legend with stunning views.
• Zelená Voda is the perfect spot to rest or go for a swim.

Each section offers something different: peaceful floodplain forests, views of the hills, historic towns and pleasant places to relax.

This is the ideal cycling route for families and recreational cyclists.

Thanks to its flat terrain alongside the river, the bike route is suitable for:
