Crossing the lower Tatra

It rained when we woke up, so we didn't hurry to get on the bikes. Instead, we had a long breakfast with Tom and Luba and waited for the weather to clear up. We left around 10:30am and were lucky all day: no rain :)
However, the trails were wet and muddy, so some sections turned out to be a bit of an adventure. Overall, we had a beautiful ride again. We cycled South towards Central Slovakia, mainly through some valleys, and climbed up the lower Tatra range. The downhill to the next valley was epic although we had to watch out for gravel and wet pavement in the turns. Before we reached our campground for the night, we had another steep climb over the next mountain range followed by an adventurous downhill on a grass trail. Exhausted but happy we enjoyed our beer after another great day of riding and exploring. Our German neighbours, Steven and Zivile, later invited us over and we spend a long night exchanging travel stories.Read more
