Quick ride by bicycle from Voronezh to Podgornoye

This ride takes you out of the city bustle of Voronezh and up to the quiet village vibes of Podgornoye, covering just over 18 km. The route starts in Voronezh—a lively city on the banks of the Voronezh River, known for its rich history and vibrant student population. You’ll begin with city streets but soon find yourself drifting onto quieter roads and some tracks that let you take in the countryside.

The climb is gentle, with just over 100 meters of ascent, so it’s nothing too punishing, but enough for a quick breather. Expect a good mix: mostly quiet roads, a sprinkle of sandy or unpaved sections—just enough to keep you on your toes, but nothing a standard bike can’t handle.

Rolling into Podgornoye, you’ll notice the pace of life slows down. It’s a tranquil spot, ideal if you’re looking for a peaceful finish. Bring a snack, enjoy the scenery, and soak in that sense of wide-open space you don’t get in the city!
