Quick ride by bicycle from Krmelín to Ostrava

This ride takes you from the small village of Krmelín, nestled on the southern edge of Ostrava, right into the heart of Ostrava itself. Krmelín is known for its peaceful rural vibe, but don’t get too comfortable—you’re heading to one of the Czech Republic’s dynamic cities!

The route is just over 18 km, mostly on the flat, with a gentle ascent and then more descent as you roll north. About half the ride is on cycleways and quiet roads, making it pleasant and safe for most cyclists, though keep an eye out for a short section on tracks. The surfaces vary: expect mostly asphalt and paved roads, though there's a chance you’ll hit the occasional rougher patch—so a hybrid or trekking bike would be perfect.

As you near Ostrava, the scenery shifts from fields and greenery to more urban energy. Ostrava itself is famous for its industrial history and the lively Stodolní Street, packed with bars and cafés. It’s a great destination—why not finish your ride with some local coffee or a well-deserved snack?
