Cycle route KCC Sport - Prešov - Raslavice - Bardejov
Interesting tips for trips during the summer months include bicycle tours. The Šariš region offers a number of pleasant cycling routes. The International Carpathian Cycle Route CM 015 is a circuit that connects the five countries of the Carpathian Euroregion Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary. The route starts from Prešov in the direction of Fintice. The very first section will test the cyclist's abilities on the climb up to the Fintice saddle. However, it is followed by a long descent. The route runs mostly along existing third-class roads, although in a few sections it also uses dirt and special-purpose roads. The undulating terrain makes it more suited to sporty cyclists, but the elevation changes are pleasant and balanced. Near the route there is a gem of wooden architecture, the church in Hervartov, which deserves attention. The short section of the Carpathian Cycle Route ends in the pleasant atmosphere of historic Bardejov. Picturesque nature and beautiful monuments enhance the atmosphere of the trip.
