This is the longest recreational cyclo-tourist route in Slovakia connecting the Liptov region
with the biggest cultural monuments. The starting point of the route is in Vlkolínec – a historic
settlement protected by UNESCO. The route leads to Partizánska Ľupča where a majestic
church is located that is worth a visit. Passing under the Low Tatras you will reach the village
Lazisko and the nearby village of Svätý Kríž with the biggest wooden articular church in
Central Europe. Behind the village, there is a lookout tower with a nice view of the foothills of
the Low Tatras and the Liptov region. The route then leads through Pavčina Lehota, where
you can try the steepest summer bobsled track in Slovakia. The route passes directly
through Camping Site and then goes around Hrádok hill where two short cycling routes with
nice route sections are located. Following the route gets you to the natural pool reservoir,
which is a refreshing moment during a hot summer day. Outside of Liptovský Ján, this is the
least attractive route section because the route leads to Liptovský Hrádok beside a busy
road. This section is very short, though. The castle Liptovský hrad is situated nearby. The
route leads to Vavrišovo, where you can find a nice-looking lookout tower. The recreational
route takes you from Vavrišovo to Pribylina, passes through the village and ends at the
entrance to the Museum of the Liptov Village, which is definitely worth a visit.
