By bicycle from Kowale to Gdansk

This ride takes you from the small town of Kowale into the heart of Gdańsk, a historic port city on the Baltic coast. The route covers a bit over 12 km, mainly on paved and quiet roads, with a gentle overall descent—so you’re gliding more than grinding! Expect some rolling hills at the start, but nothing too taxing, as you lose more elevation than you gain.

You’ll roll past a mix of suburban homes and green spaces, and about a third of the way, you’ll start to sense the buzz of Gdańsk drawing nearer. The mix of cycleways and peaceful side streets makes for a stress-free ride, with the final stretch taking you closer to Gdańsk’s classic brick architecture and riverside paths.

Gdańsk itself is well worth a stop: famous for its picturesque old town and central role in Polish history, it’s a great place to end your ride with a coffee, pastry, or waterfront stroll. Enjoy the ride!
