Zamagurie circuit

It is a route of moderate difficulty with a total length of up to 40 km. The ascents and descents are moderate almost throughout the entire route, with the exception of a short section between Malá Franková and Chodník v korunách stromov, when less skilled cyclists are advised to get off the bike and push it through the given section. The structure of the route is variable, with asphalt, gravel and dirt sections. The estimated time of the route is individual, depending on the cyclist's condition and set pace, but on average the given route will take you approximately 3.5 hours. There are many points of interest, viewpoints, gazebos for resting, information boards and establishments offering refreshments on the route. The route is freely downloadable in the Mapy.cz application, the direction of the route is also indicated on the information boards. For this route, we recommend renting Lectron trail bikes, which will provide sufficient comfort both on the road and off-road. During the route, cyclists have the opportunity to get to know the beauty of the Zamagurie border and the Belianske Tatras.
