This section begins in Poland’s ancient capital, Krakow and heads south to begin the climb up and over Central Europe’s highest mountain range, the Tatras. This may be the shortest section but is also the most challenging. At the top of the climb, the cyclist will cross the border into Slovakia, a country of hill side villages and fiery Slivovica, a traditional plum brandy! The expedition now heads east across rolling hills to end in the country’s vibrant capital, Bratislava.
