Quick ride by bicycle from Khotiv to Chabany

This short ride takes you from the charming village of Khotiv to the neighboring settlement of Chabany, just southwest of Kyiv. Starting out in Khotiv, known for its peaceful countryside and the scenic Khotiv Settlement and ravine, you’ll follow quiet roads and a few rural tracks for about 4.5 kilometers—making this an ideal route for a relaxed cruise or a quick daily ride.

The route is mostly on quiet roads (almost 60%), so you can enjoy the bird songs and open views. While the majority of the surface is unlisted (likely a mix of gravel and dirt, so watch out after rain!), there are short stretches of asphalt. There’s a gentle but noticeable climb early on (around 64 meters of ascent), perfect for warming up the legs.

You’ll roll into Chabany in under an hour. Chabany is a small community with local shops and a friendly vibe—perfect for grabbing a snack before heading back or exploring further. This is an easy, scenic ride with a rural Ukrainian flavor!
