Sekčov River Walk

The Sekčov is a 44-kilometer river that flows through the Šariš region and passes near the city of Prešov before merging with the Torysa River. Travelers visit this area primarily for the riverside paths, which provide a space for walking and leisure away from the main urban traffic.

Getting There

The river banks are accessible from the Prešov city centre via a short walk or local transport. Depending on the specific starting point in the centre, it typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the riverside paths.

Duration of Visit

Depending on the length of the walk planned, visitors generally spend between 1 and 2 hours exploring the banks of the river.

When to Visit

The area is best visited during the spring and summer months when the riverside vegetation is full. Morning or late afternoon visits are recommended to avoid the midday heat. The paths do not typically experience heavy crowds, making it a quiet option for a stroll.

Nearby Attractions

Because of its location, the river walk can be combined with several other sites in Prešov:

  • Solivar (1.2km)
  • Museum of Rusyn Culture (1.5km)
  • Cathedral of St Alexander Nevsky (1.8km)
  • Church of St. Joseph (2km)
