Bikepacking from Świnoujście to Szczecin

This scenic route takes you from the coastal charm of Świnoujście down to the historic city of Szczecin—about 156 km of diverse cycling adventure! You’ll start right on the Baltic Sea, surrounded by wide beaches and seaside promenades (Świnoujście is known for having Poland’s widest beach and being split by the Świna river).

The ride features primarily paved and asphalt surfaces, with stretches of gravel and the occasional paving stones to keep things interesting. Expect a good mix of dedicated cycleways and quiet country roads, winding past forests, lakes, and sleepy West Pomeranian villages.

You’ll gradually climb and descend through gentle countryside hills (nothing too steep—max elevation is under 50 meters), passing by scenic fields and, if you’re lucky, some classic Polish storks. Szczecin awaits you with its unique blend of Gothic, Art Nouveau, and Soviet-era architecture, plus bustling riverfront vibes—perfect for a well-earned post-ride meal!

Plan for a long day in the saddle or break the journey with a night en route—either way, you’ll get a real taste of northwestern Poland’s beauty and laid-back pace.
