We recently wrote on our blog about gravel races taking place this year in Poland and beyond. This time, we'll be discussing an event not necessarily with a sporting flair, and not necessarily with gravel. But most importantly, it's in great company and even more stunning natural surroundings.

Tatra loop
The Tatra Loop is all about good company and conversation, without competition, but with ambition. No limits, but with a requirement for good physical fitness. No guarantee of a tailwind, but certainly stunning views.
This shared ride around the Polish and Slovak Tatra Mountains, once a friendly event, has now become part of Tatra Fest . If you'd like to experience the atmosphere of this event, here are a few memories:
2021 Edition | 2022 Edition | 2023 Edition
It's certainly possible to complete a full day's ride around the Tatra Mountains, and we're launching that version this year. However, this distance, with all the elevation gain in a single day, requires a good set of legs, and the goal is to make this route accessible to anyone who wants to test their skills.
The idea is to sit down quietly for pancakes with raspberries in Starý Smokovec, then eat pizza in Štrbské Pleso, chat with new people we've met, and in the evening in Mikuláš, after a shower, meet at our favorite pub, drink Kofola and chat.
On Saturday, the next morning, after breakfast, we meet at 9:00 for coffee and cake. We head towards Zakopane. Along the way, we make another iconic stop at Koliba Holica. This is a unique place, preceded by a climb and descent that will stay in your memory for a lifetime. And they have fantastic cesnačka!

Support on the road
We have a few support vehicles traveling with us, where you can throw your luggage and travel lightly.
The car also has basic tools in the event of a technical breakdown, as well as water and a refreshment kit.
A mobile buffet stocked with water, bars and fruit will be in the support vehicle.
We will provide a warm meal at the GuguPark finish line in Zakopane on Saturday, June 16.
Due to the nature of the journey, it is optimal for everyone to choose where and with whom they want to stop to eat.
