Cycling day trip from Kaliningrad to Svetlogorsk

Kaliningrad to Svetlogorsk Cycling Route

Kick off your ride in Kaliningrad, a city bursting with history (don’t miss the striking Königsberg Cathedral), and escape north towards the Baltic coast. You'll cover just under 59 km on a mix of mostly paved and quiet roads, perfect for soaking in the gentle countryside. There’s some climbing—just under 300 meters, mostly gentle hills—so expect great views of fields, forests, and the occasional sleepy village along the way.

About halfway, you'll swap urban buzz for tranquil surroundings as you approach Svetlogorsk. This charming seaside town is famous for its spa traditions, sandy beaches, and unique German-style architecture—an ideal spot to stretch out after your ride. Pavement is decent most of the way, though be ready for a few bumpy patches where the surface switches or is missing.

It's a fun, rewarding day out with the Baltic breeze as your reward once you reach the coast. Don’t forget your camera—or your swimsuit!
