Cycling day trip from Samara to Petra-Dubrava

Hop on your bike for a pleasant spin from the vibrant city of Samara to the quiet village of Petra-Dubrava! This 26 km ride offers a nice balance of urban energy and countryside calm. Starting in Samara, a bustling city on the Volga River known for its riverside views and rich aviation history, you’ll ease out of town primarily on quiet and access roads—great for avoiding traffic and soaking in the scenery.

About 43% of your ride is smooth asphalt or paved road, so the going is comfortable, though do be prepared for stretches with missing surface info (could be a mix, but no gravel or dirt expected). The route climbs gently with just over 250 meters of ascent, making for a manageable workout without serious hills.

As you approach Petra-Dubrava, you’ll notice the pace drop, with open fields and fresh air welcoming you to this cozy village. A relaxing escape just outside city limits, it’s perfect for a day ride or a leisurely adventure!
