Cycling day trip from Jastrzębia Góra to Hel

This cycling route takes you from the dramatic cliffs of Jastrzębia Góra to the iconic tip of the Hel Peninsula—a must-do ride for anyone exploring northern Poland! Starting at Jastrzębia Góra, the northernmost point of the country (snap a photo at the "Gwiazda Północy" monument!), you’ll cruise south along mostly smooth paved cycleways, with a good share of dedicated bike paths and scenic views of the Baltic Sea.

The route is about 44.5 km and mostly flat, with gentle rises and descents, making it manageable even for casual riders. You’ll experience a mix of surfaces, but with over 60% on dedicated cycleways and paving stones under your wheels, it’s mostly comfortable—just watch out for a few gravel patches as you get closer to the seaside forests.

Arriving in Hel, you’ll be greeted by sandy beaches, seafood shacks, and the famous Hel lighthouse. Take some time to explore this quirky town at the very end of the peninsula—a real highlight of the Polish coast!
