The Rajecká Cycling Route can be divided into two sections. The first section connects Žilina
with the village of Turie. The second section connects Rajecké Teplice with the town of Rajec
and the Vážska Cycling Route. There are several regional and local cycling routes available.
The route is not challenging and is suitable for recreational cyclists as well. The second
section of the Rajecká Cycling Route begins in Rajecké Teplice, home to one of Slovakia’s
best-known healing spas with natural thermal water. You can visit the spa to relax in pools
and saunas. The route then continues from the spa town through the villages of Konská and
Kamenná Poruba to Rajec. During the hot summer days, you can cool yourselves down in
the thermal swimming pool in Rajec. From Rajec continue through several villages toward
Považská Bystrica. In Domaniža, there is the beautiful Church of St. Nicholas. The Cycling
Route passes through the entire town of Považská Bystrica, the traffic-light junction and
continues beneath the highway bridge towards Váh River, where it ends at the intersection
with the Vážska Cycling Route.
