Cycling day trip from Kołobrzeg to Ustka

This cycling route takes you from the historic seaside city of Kołobrzeg to the charming resort town of Ustka—two Baltic gems in northern Poland. Kołobrzeg is well-known for its beautiful beaches, old town, and impressive lighthouse, making it a favorite with both locals and visitors.

Your ride covers around 130 km, virtually hugging the Baltic coastline, with gentle hills (just over 330 meters climbing, nothing too crazy) and plenty of sea breezes. Most of the journey follows smooth paved surfaces (about 90%) and a pleasant mix of cycleways, quiet roads, and scenic paths, so you’ll have lots of opportunities to enjoy the views and coastal atmosphere. Expect a few stretches of cobblestones and paving stones through quaint seaside villages, and a bit of gravel here and there—just enough to keep things interesting.

The route winds through coastal forests and dunes, passing by charming stops like Darłowo and Jarosławiec. Your final destination, Ustka, awaits with a lively fishing port, wide sandy beaches, and a picturesque promenade—perfect for a celebratory ice cream after your ride. Enjoy the journey!
