Cycling day trip from Orissaare to Kuressaare

Orissaare to Kuressaare Cycling Route

Enjoy the peaceful beauty of Saaremaa as you ride from the charming coastal village of Orissaare to the vibrant island capital, Kuressaare! This 78 km journey is a laid-back adventure mostly on quiet roads and smooth pavement, winding across flat rural landscapes with just enough gentle hills to keep things interesting.

The route starts in Orissaare, known for its iconic stadium oak tree—right in the middle of the local football field. From there, you’ll spend most of your time rolling along quiet country roads, with only a short hop on busier stretches. Expect classic Saaremaa scenery: pine forests, wide fields, and sleepy villages peppered along your way.

You’ll end the ride in Kuressaare, famous for its stunning medieval castle, seaside charm, and cozy cafés. It’s a perfect place to reward yourself with a coffee and a pastry after a solid day out in the saddle. The route is mostly paved, so you can relax and enjoy the ride—just look out for a handful of gravel bits. Happy cycling!
