Cycling day trip from Gubin to Frankfurt (Oder)

Here’s a scenic and easygoing cycling route that takes you from Gubin, right on the Polish–German border, all the way north to Frankfurt (Oder) in Germany. The ride is about 61 km—so it’s perfect for a long half-day trip, or a relaxed day trip with stops. Expect mostly paved surfaces (over 80%) with a mix of asphalt, paving stones, and some concrete stretches, making it pretty smooth, though there are some minor climbs and descents to keep things interesting (just over 300 meters up and down overall).

You’ll roll along peaceful paths and quiet roads, passing through idyllic countryside and small villages—a great way to soak up the tranquil borderland vibe. Gubin itself has a cool cross-border history, and when you finish in Frankfurt (Oder), you’ll find a vibrant university city known for its culture and historic old town.

Tip: Pack a picnic or stop at one of the riverside spots along the way for a break! The combination of bike-friendly surfaces and mostly car-free paths makes this a chilled-out ride with plenty to enjoy.
