Quick ride by bicycle from Murcki to Mikołów

Looking for a pleasant ride between two Silesian gems? This route takes you from Murcki, one of Katowice’s greenest and most peaceful districts, nestled by the sprawling Murcki Forest, straight into the heart of Mikołów—a charming town famous for its picturesque old square and inviting cafes.

Covering about 14.5 km, this ride is perfect for an easy day out. Most of your journey will stick to quiet roads and smooth asphalt, making it great for anyone who enjoys a calm spin without much heavy traffic. You’ll climb just over 100 meters, so there’s a bit of workout, but nothing too wild. Expect some variety under your tires—a decent stretch of gravel and unpaved sections (around 20%) keeps things interesting, especially if you’ve got a hybrid or trekking bike.

The landscapes are classic Upper Silesia: patches of forests, suburban corners, and glimpses of the region’s industrial heritage. When you reach Mikołów, take time to explore the old town and maybe grab a coffee before heading back. It’s a route that’s easy to love—just watch for any rougher patches where surfaces change!
