Quick ride by bicycle from Zabrze to Gliwice

This ride takes you from Zabrze to Gliwice, a friendly spin just over 15 km across the heart of Silesia. You’ll set off from Zabrze, a city known for its rich industrial history—maybe spot some old coal mine landmarks as you roll out.

Most of the route offers pleasant biking on quiet roads (and a solid stretch of dedicated cycleway!), so expect a relaxed ride with gentle up and down: total ascent is under 45 meters with a bit more descent, so it’s mostly in your favor. Surfaces will change from smooth asphalt to some stretches of paving stones and short bits of gravel or hard-packed ground—just enough to keep things interesting, but nothing you can’t handle on a regular bike.

You’ll finish in Gliwice, a lively city famous for its beautiful old town square and the iconic Gliwice Radio Tower—the tallest wooden structure in Europe. Perfect for a post-ride coffee or pastry!
