More mud adventures

Our ride started with a rolling climb on a small paved bike path. At the top, we were looking forward to a fast downhill, but were surprised by a changed surface: Lots of mud and grass and rocks and very steep. Probably fun on a proper MTB, but difficult with our pannier setup and no suspensions at all. However, it's an adventure and we are not in a hurry! Sometimes it's quite interesting and always a surprise, what route komoot has chosen for us 😉
Once down in the valley, we had to climb again. 500m of elevation gain on a normal road and we got to the top of the pass. This time, the downhill was easier and really long, around 35km. The first part was a road in a pretty bad condition, so we had to navigate around heaps of potholes. We had to stop in some village to wait out the rain, but timed it perfectly with our lunchbreak. Then the road got smoother and we rolled easily along a small river.
One last climb, some more descending on remote roads through a poorer region of Slovakia and we arrived at a campground at a lake. Not really our type of campground, but at least they have hot showers.Læs mere
