Cycling day trip from Kolodishchi to Borovlyany

This cycling route starts out in Kolodishchi, a lively suburb just east of Minsk known for its leafy neighborhoods and relaxed vibe. From there, you'll set off on a ride of just over 22 km, making your way toward Borovlyany—a dynamic area famous for its large pine forests and a hub for medical research centers.

Most of your journey winds over mixed surfaces, with about half on smooth asphalt and the rest on a blend of various paved and a smidge of unpaved paths. You'll follow a good share of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, keeping things calm and safe, though there are brief stretches through residential access roads and—in true adventure fashion—just a hint of rugged track.

Expect a few gentle ups and downs with an overall climb of around 168 meters, but nothing too taxing for recreational riders. As you approach Borovlyany, take in the fresh scent of pines and the laid-back feel. Perfect for escaping city crowds and enjoying the green outskirts of Minsk!
