Cycling day trip from Elblag to Stegna

If you’re up for a laid-back day on the bike, this trip from Elbląg to the seaside village of Stegna is just the ticket! You’ll start out in historic Elbląg, a town rich with medieval vibes and riverside charm. Heading north, the route stretches just under 53 km, mostly flat (hello, only about 10 meters of ascent), making it easy for cyclists of all levels.

The path is a mix—sometimes you’ll be cruising paved or asphalt roads, other times you’ll get a taste of adventure with some missing or rougher sections, so a hybrid or gravel bike is your friend here. Most of your ride winds along quiet roads and rural tracks, with hardly a busy road in sight.

As you approach Stegna, you’ll feel the salty breeze: it’s a laid-back Baltic resort known for its wide sandy beaches and lazy summer vibe. Perfect for a post-ride swim or a relaxing ice cream on the promenade. All in all, it’s a scenic, peaceful ride between two classic northern Polish towns—bring your camera and enjoy the journey!
