What does a trip taste like when cycling, hiking, adrenaline, learning about fauna and flora, bird’s-eye views and the joy of spending time in nature come together? You can find out when you visit the Resort BACHLEDKA. Even though cycling infrastructure in some regions of Slovakia is still only a dream or a plan, you can also reach the Resort in Bachledova Valley safely by bike, using the cycle path. However, the routes vary depending on which direction you come to us from.
Along the cycle path to BACHLEDKA
If you set off from Kežmarok, there is a cycle path that will take you all the way to the picturesque village of Ždiar. Here, you can experience the charm of village life, see sheep grazing in the mountain meadows and admire unique wooden houses decorated with traditional folk patterns. From there, only the final section to the Resort itself awaits you. The cycle path is mostly paved, but the section from Tatranská Kotlina remains gravel, as it passes through an area under the fourth level of nature protection in TANAP. The cycle path features climbs, descents and wooden bridges. You can take a break at any time, recharge your energy in the forest at the foothills of the Belianske Tatras and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
The aforementioned cycle path can also be joined from the direction of the High Tatras. However, this route also includes sections along the main road, so you need to pay extra attention to following traffic rules and always wear a helmet.
