Cycling day trip from Szczecin to Police

This ride takes you from the bustling city of Szczecin up to the smaller town of Police, covering just under 24 km, so it’s a great option for a relaxed half-day trip out of the city.

You’ll roll out from Szczecin, the largest city in northwest Poland, well-known for its maritime heritage and lovely parks. Most of your route is on dedicated cycle paths (about 86%), so you can enjoy a stress-free cruise. The surface is mostly smooth—mainly paved and a good chunk on paving stones and asphalt—which makes for a comfortable ride, but watch for the occasional unpaved or gravel patch.

The scenery is pleasant, with gentle ups and downs—a total ascent of just over 100 meters, so nothing too demanding. As you approach Police, you’ll notice a shift from urban buzz to quieter surroundings. Police is known for its chemical industry and the peaceful Oder riverbanks.

Pack a snack, snap some photos by the river, and you’ll have a great little adventure—perfect for a quick escape from city life!
