By bicycle from Kharkiv to Kulynychi

This cycling route takes you from the bustling heart of Kharkiv all the way to the quieter suburb of Kulynychi—perfect if you’re looking to escape the city for a bit! Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, is full of energy, and starting here means you’ll get a feel for that vibrant atmosphere before heading out.

The ride is just under 16 km, mostly along quiet roads with only brief stretches on busier streets. You’ll climb a bit as you go (just over 100 meters of ascent), but nothing too intimidating—it’s more of a gentle challenge than a tough slog. About a third of the route is paved or asphalted, while the rest might be a mix or less-traveled roads, so make sure your tires can handle a bit of variety.

Once you roll into Kulynychi, you’ll notice things slow down and green up—a welcome change from the city buzz. It’s the perfect spot if you want a taste of suburban life and a break from traffic. Don’t forget to pack water and enjoy the ride!
