Quick ride by bicycle from Krakow to Wrząsowice

Looking for a ride away from city crowds? This cycling route takes you from the heart of Krakow, a city famed for its historic Old Town and lively atmosphere, to the quiet village of Wrząsowice just south of the city.

You’ll roll out of Krakow’s bustling center and quickly find yourself on calmer, quieter roads—over half of the route follows peaceful streets and scenic paths. The route is almost entirely paved, passing through a mix of neighborhoods and gentle countryside, with a bit of climb (about 240 meters of ascent), so expect some rolling hills as you leave the city behind.

Your destination, Wrząsowice, is a small, laid-back village perfect for unwinding after the ride. The change in pace and scenery makes this a refreshing escape from Krakow. Bonus: pack a picnic and enjoy some fresh air in the rural surroundings before your ride back!
