By bicycle from Świętochłowice to Ruda Śląska

Here’s a fun little ride connecting two Silesian towns—Świętochłowice and Ruda Śląska! The route’s about 11.4 km, so it’s perfect if you’re up for an easygoing afternoon spin. Most of the path has you rolling on quiet roads and a nice stretch of dedicated cycleway, with just a dash of bustling streets to keep things interesting.

You’ll start in Świętochłowice, a town rich in mining history and sprinkled with green spaces like Park Heiloo, making for a scenic send-off. As you glide southward, the ride is mostly flat with just a gentle climb here and there—nothing your legs can’t handle! The route is primarily paved or asphalt, though keep an eye out for some cobbles and a short patch of unpaved ground.

You’ll finish in Ruda Śląska, another pillar of the Upper Silesian industrial region, now full of revitalized neighborhoods and cycling-friendly spots. All in all, it’s a pleasant route with a relaxed vibe—great for exploring a slice of Silesia on two wheels.
