Quick ride by bicycle from Podgornoye to Voronezh

Ready for a pleasant spin through rural Russia? This 19.7 km ride takes you from the peaceful village of Podgornoye right into the vibrant city life of Voronezh. Kicking off in Podgornoye, you’ll be surrounded by fields and a relaxed village vibe — great for warming up your legs as you cycle along mostly quiet roads and access routes. The surface is about one-third fresh asphalt and the rest a mix of road and some (minor) unpaved stretches, so a hybrid or gravel bike is a smart pick.

There’s a little elevation (about 106 m of ascent), but nothing too steep, making this a comfortable ride for most cyclists. As you roll into Voronezh, get ready for a change of pace: this city is the cultural heart of the region and sits beside the Don River, known for its beautiful embankments, cool cafés, and lively atmosphere. It’s a great place to relax after your ride — maybe even take a stroll to the Petrovsky Square or check out the Admiralteyskaya Embankment. Have a great ride!
