VSETÍN CIRCLES (typically terrain trails): The surroundings of Vsetín are a paradise for mountain biking enthusiasts due to the hilly terrain and are crisscrossed with many cycling paths.

CYCLE PATH NETWORK (typically asphalt paths):

Vsetín is crossed by the Bečva Cycle Path, which leads from Velké Karlovice through Vsetín to Valašské Meziříčí, where it connects with the second branch of the path leading from Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. The shared path then continues to the town of Hranice in the Olomouc region, Lipník nad Bečvou, Přerov, and Tovačov. It follows the entire course of the Bečva River (including the Vsetín and Rožnov Bečva) up to its confluence with the Morava River in Tovačov.

The city of Vsetín is currently building the Rokytenka Cycle Path, which aims to bring cyclists from the center of Vsetín to the cadastral area of Lhota u Vsetína (and then further to Liptál and in the future through Syrákov to Jasenné and Zlín).
