Itinerary description
Physical difficulty: 3/5
Note #1: At Intersection #10, I suggest ignoring the right turn that I took, and remaining on road 18. I was hoping for a nice detour through the fields, but I was mistaken. Details are in the waypoint description.
Note #2: You can shorten or lengthen the route at your convenience, following the main roads. They are wide, often sparsely-travelled, and the drivers are very mindful of cyclists.
--
Beautiful mountain trail, 70% asphalt, 30% terrain. Suggest to take this ride in the early morning.
From Tatranská Štrba take road 537 towards Štrbske pleso, then after a long accent turn left on 538 and continue towards Hybe. From Hybe take the main road 18 back to Tatranská Štrba.
The route is mostly easy, but the descent from road 538 to Hybe, over forest terrain was bumpy at times. Exercise caution.

Starting point; the parking is private (for guests only), but in the street leading up to Golem there is a spot on the side of the road that could fit 1-2 cars.

Intersection #3
Turn left, on the county road. Asphalt ends and the terrain starts here. Also, from here to Intersection #4 is the bumpiest part of the trail, and also downhill - so take extra care!
Intersection
3,036 ft
Intersection #5
At the fork, take a right to go deeper into the woods. You will get spotty cell reception until you clear the forest.
Intersection
2,353 ft
Intersection #9
Go right at the fork to enter Hybe village proper; if you just want to skirt it and be on your way back, then take a left.
Intersection
2,368 ft
Intersection #10
Note: I recommend going straight and staying on road 18, instead of taking a right turn here; the path will take you through crappy terrain, literally and figuratively - you'll be passing manure heaps, avoiding dirty puddles (if it rained recently), holes, stones, etc.
Intersection
2,643 ft
Intersection #13
Stay on road 18.
