Cycling day trip from Gdansk to Cedry Wielkie

Ready to swap city buzz for rural calm? This cycling route takes you from the heart of Gdańsk, with its colorful old town and storied port, out to the peaceful village of Cedry Wielkie—about 38 km away. Most of the ride is on paved surfaces and quiet cycle paths, making for a relaxed pedal (with only gentle hills along the way).

You'll start amid centuries-old architecture and riverfront views in Gdańsk, then ride southeast through sleepy suburbs, over flat farmland, and past stretches of the Żuławy wetlands—a unique delta area shaped by centuries of Dutch settlers' canals and dikes. Look out for historic brick churches and nods to the area's Mennonite heritage!

A good chunk of the route is on separated cycleways or quiet paths, so traffic is minimal and the vibe stays chill. Cedry Wielkie is a small community, perfect for a café stop or a stroll before turning back or hopping on public transport. Bring a camera—Poland’s northern flatlands offer big skies and great open views, especially in the late afternoon!
