Quick ride by bicycle from Swarzędz to Poznan

This ride starts in Swarzędz, a lively town just east of Poznań known for its lakeside promenades and historic furniture-making traditions. Your route is around 14.5 km, an easygoing distance that gently rolls towards the vibrant city of Poznań.

You’ll spend most of your time on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making the ride relaxing and suitable for everyday cyclists and commuters. About half of the route is on smooth, paved surfaces (mostly asphalt and paving stones), while the other half has more variable surfaces, so a hybrid or trekking bike is a good choice.

The ride takes you through suburban areas, leafy patches, and likely a few unpaved sections—so be ready for a bit of variety! When you reach Poznań, you’ll be greeted by buzzing city life and loads of places to rest and refuel—perhaps at one of the Old Town cafés or by the Warta river.

All in all, it’s a scenic, mostly flat ride with just enough variation to keep things interesting—a perfect way to connect Swarzędz with the heart of Greater Poland!
