Explore one of Slovakia’s best-kept secrets on this three-day e-bike adventure through the rolling hills, forests, and hidden valleys of the Považie region. Far from the crowded tourist hotspots, you’ll discover a landscape perfectly suited for mountain e-biking — quiet forest roads, scenic ridgelines, traditional villages, and spectacular views across the Javorníky and Súľov Mountains.
Each day brings a new route and a new chapter of local history. Along the way, you’ll visit some of Slovakia’s most impressive medieval castle ruins, including Lietava Castle and Vršatec Castle, standing high above the surrounding countryside and offering unforgettable panoramas.
The routes are designed for active riders looking for a rewarding challenge without the technical demands of mountain biking. Thanks to modern e-bikes, you’ll comfortably cover 40-50 kilometres per day and tackle 800-1,200 metres of elevation gain while enjoying the scenery rather than focusing solely on the effort.
For three nights, you’ll stay at the elegant 4-star Hotel Gino Park Palace, a beautifully restored 17th-century manor house surrounded by a historic park. After each day in the saddle, relax in comfortable surroundings and enjoy excellent local hospitality.
This trip combines active adventure, hidden landscapes, medieval history, and premium accommodation into a unique experience that few visitors to Slovakia ever discover.

Testimonials
Our customers love what we do
We joined Andrej for his trip in the Tatras mountains. What an amazing adventure! Andrej made everything so easy and fun. We were with an awesome group of people. I’d highly recommend joining one of Slovakation’s trips. 5 star ***** Even in extreme weather conditions everything was managed really well, and we got back to the airport safely and on time despite difficult driving conditions.
Great trip with Slovakation hiking around the Tatras Mountains. We did 3 hikes up to different lakes and stopped at a mountain hut for food each time. The views were incredible and our guide Tomas was so knowledgeable on the landscape and history and culture of Slovakia. Would highly recommend!
Well organised, good itineraries and great mountain 'huts' for food and drink.
