Terrain and the Right Bike

The route alternates between a paved forest trail and shorter paved sections. A gravel or mountain bike is best, as it provides greater stability even on rougher terrain.

A short climb

Over a distance of just under two kilometers, you’ll climb approximately 111 meters in elevation. The route isn’t technically challenging, but right from the start, it climbs in short switchbacks toward the Grandhotel Praha.

Connecting Bicycle Trails

The route serves as a link between the Podtatranská Cycle Route and the higher-elevation Green Route 5860. This allows you to easily extend your trip toward the Štart cable car’s intermediate station.

A short connection between Tatranská Lomnica and the higher-altitude bike trails

Bike Trail 8876 begins at Cesta slobody in Tatranská Lomnica, where it intersects with the red Podtatranská Bike Route. Right at the start, it climbs a few short switchbacks toward the Grandhotel Praha and then continues through a forest setting.

This short connecting route offers views of Tatranská Lomnica and the surrounding Tatra peaks. Thanks to its easy difficulty level, it is also suitable for recreational cyclists who want to continue to higher elevations.

Hairpin Turns to the Grandhotel Praha

The initial section leads from Cesta slobody along short switchbacks toward the Grandhotel Praha. The climb is gradual and free of technically challenging sections.

Through the Forest

Beyond the hotel, the route continues along a paved forest trail. The peaceful surroundings and gentle slope create pleasant conditions for a short ride.

Connection to Route 5860

At the end, the bike trail connects to the green Trail 5860, which continues toward the Štart cable car mid-station. You can thus extend your trip with another mountain section.

    The High Tatras have something to offer all year round. The best time for high-altitude hiking is from June to October, when the hiking trails at higher elevations are open. Fall brings more stable weather, pleasant temperatures, and beautiful views. Winter is ideal for skiing, winter walks, and visiting locations that are accessible year-round. Before setting out on a trip, always check the current weather conditions and any trail closures.

    You do not need a special permit for regular hiking on marked trails. However, you must comply with TANAP’s visitor regulations and seasonal closures, and you may only hike on open trails. Special rules apply, for example, to rock climbing, ski mountaineering, hiking off marked trails, or bringing a dog into the park.

    You can easily reach the main Tatra resorts by train. The Tatra Electric Railways connect Poprad, Starý Smokovec, Štrbské Pleso, and Tatranská Lomnica. A cog railway runs from Štrba to Štrbské Pleso. You can also take advantage of regular bus routes and seasonal shuttle services in the region.

    You can park in designated parking lots in the various Tatra villages. During peak periods, we recommend using the P+R park-and-ride lot at Eurocamp in Tatranská Lomnica and continuing by shuttle bus. From this parking lot, you can take public transportation to destinations such as Tatranská Lomnica, Tatranské Matliare, Biela Voda, or the Belianska Cave.

    For hiking, choose sturdy hiking boots with non-slip soles that stabilize your feet and protect them on rocky or wet terrain. Your gear should also include weather-appropriate clothing and a rain jacket. Sandals and regular city shoes are not suitable for more demanding hikes.

    When a storm is approaching, leave peaks, ridges, saddles, mountain passes, and open areas as soon as possible. Descend to lower elevations, avoid standing near isolated trees or metal objects, and keep your distance from other members of your group. If possible, take shelter in a mountain hut or a safe building. The best prevention is to check the weather forecast, set out early in the morning, and shorten or cancel your hike in a timely manner if conditions take a turn for the worse. Safety must take precedence over reaching your destination.
