Cycling day trip from Sopot to Kowale

Kick off your ride by the Baltic Sea in Sopot, famous for its lively pier and sandy beaches, then head south towards Kowale. This 25.5 km route is mostly on smooth, paved cycleways and quiet roads, making it perfect for a relaxed day out.

You’ll leave behind the beachy holiday vibes of Sopot and cruise through a mix of suburban neighborhoods and green spaces. The ride has a bit of climbing at first—nothing too wild, just enough to get the legs warm—before leveling out as you get closer to your destination. Most of the journey is on cycle paths separated from traffic, though you’ll briefly ride some peaceful paved roads and even a few stretches with charming paving stones.

Arriving in Kowale, you’ll find yourself in a fast-growing village on the southern edge of Gdańsk’s suburbs, ideal if you’re looking for a quieter finish after the buzz of Sopot. Whether you’re a local exploring a new way home or a visitor connecting two very different parts of the Gdańsk area, this route has seaside sights, suburban scenes, and a super smooth ride.
