Quick ride by bicycle from Katowice to Mysłowice

This relaxed ride takes you from the bustling heart of Katowice to the historic city of Mysłowice. Starting out in Katowice—famous for its dynamic music scene and modernist architecture—you’ll pedal southeast, mostly on quiet roads and mellow paths (about 70% of your route is noticeably traffic-calmed or completely off main roads). The journey covers just under 20 kilometers, making it perfect for a leisurely half-day ride.

Along the way, you’ll breeze through stretches of greenery and some old mining areas that speak to the region’s industrial past. The route is mostly flat, with just over 130 meters of climbing, so it’s friendly for all levels. Surfaces are mainly paved or asphalt, with only occasional cobbles or gravel patches adding a touch of variety.

Your ride ends in Mysłowice, a city known both as a former industrial hub and for its excellent access to the Przemsza rivers. Take some time to explore its charming city center or grab a coffee in a local café—perfect as a reward before looping back or catching a train home.
