Cycling day trip from Khotiv to Kyiv

This cycling route takes you from the peaceful village atmosphere of Khotiv—known for its scenic hills and green spaces—right into the vibrant heart of Kyiv. Covering about 26 km, you’ll start out on mostly quiet roads and country lanes, making for a gentle and enjoyable ride. Expect a fair bit of climbing (nearly 380 meters of ascent!), especially as you leave Khotiv’s rolling terrain and weave your way towards the big city.

The majority of the route is on paved and asphalt surfaces, but don’t be surprised if you hit a few rougher patches and some unpaved sections—just part of the adventure! As you get closer to Kyiv, the roads get busier and the vibe shifts from rural to urban. Take a breath as you reach Kyiv, a city famous for its beautiful golden-domed churches and lively food scene. This route is a great mix of countryside tranquility and urban excitement—perfect if you want a taste of both in one ride!
