By bicycle from Lviv to Solonka

Looking for a pleasant bike ride out of Lviv? This route will take you just under 17 km south from the historic heart of Lviv down to the quiet village of Solonka. Lviv, known for its UNESCO-listed old town and vibrant coffee culture, makes a fun starting point—grab a quick espresso before you go!

The route is mostly on paved and asphalt roads, so it’s a smooth ride, with only brief stretches of unpaved or cobbled surfaces. About half the way you’ll enjoy quiet side roads and some dedicated cycleways, weaving through a mix of suburban scenery and green spaces. There are a few gentle climbs (just over 100 meters total ascent), but nothing too serious.

Solonka at the finish is a laid-back spot known for its ancient salt spring—worth a quick detour if you’re into local history. All in all, it’s a scenic, easygoing ride that gets you out of the city and into the Ukrainian countryside in about an hour. Perfect for a half-day adventure!
