By bicycle from Zakopane to Poronin

This relaxing 8 km ride starts in Zakopane, the famous gateway to the Tatra Mountains known for its wooden architecture and buzzing resort energy. You’ll roll out on mostly quiet roads with a gentle descent, making it a breeze for any level of cyclist. The majority of your route is smooth asphalt, winding between scenic hills and glimpses of the striking mountain backdrop.

As you pedal northwards, you’ll soon find yourself in Poronin, a peaceful village known for its traditional highland culture and slower pace – the perfect spot to grab a snack at a local bakery or just soak in the mountain air. With only a bit of climbing at the start (about 39 meters) and a much longer, gentle descent into Poronin, it’s an ideal short ride whether you’re looking to stretch your legs or connect two of Poland’s most charming mountain towns.
