Quick ride by bicycle from Krakow to Czarnochowice

Here’s a great little ride from the heart of Krakow to the quiet village of Czarnochowice, ideal for anyone wanting a taste of the Polish countryside without venturing too far from the city. Starting off in Krakow—famous for its beautiful medieval Old Town and buzzing café culture—you’ll wind your way south-east through about 16 km of mostly paved surfaces, hitting a mix of quiet roads, bike paths, and the occasional stretch of cobblestones that add to the adventure.

Most of the route is pretty flat, with only a couple of gentle climbs—perfect for a laid-back ride. You’ll roll past suburban neighborhoods, small parks, and open fields, watching the landscape gradually shift from urban to rural. Czarnochowice itself is a peaceful spot: a classic Małopolska village, great for a breather before heading back or exploring further.

It’s a great way to see another side of Krakow, especially if you want to swap city crowds for countryside calm—all in less than an hour’s ride!
