Description

During this week we will discover some of the most beautiful parts of Western Slovakia from the seat of your bike. Visit castles, vineyards, traditional vine cellars owned by the locals, taste some of the best Slovakian vines, try the specialities and cycle on the banks of river Danube and Morava. The beginning of the trip is in the area of town Pezinok, which is well known for its rich wine history. Crossing the Small Carpathian mountains being so close to Bratislava is definitely another great adventure, which is worth doing.
