Quick ride by bicycle from Kokotów to Krakow

This ride starts in the small village of Kokotów, just southeast of Krakow—a quiet area known for its open fields and peaceful vibe. The route is an easygoing 17 km, mostly on paved surfaces, with gentle ups and downs (you’ll only climb about 72 meters in total, so nothing too dramatic).

You’ll pedal along a good mix of quiet country roads, smooth paths, and a few pretty sections of cycleway, passing through a blend of rural scenery and ever-more urban surroundings as you get closer to Krakow. The approach into Krakow itself is exciting, as the city is one of Poland’s historic gems—famous for its beautifully preserved Old Town, vibrant market squares, and the impressive Wawel Castle.

Expect the riding surface to be primarily asphalt and pavement, with the occasional patch of cobblestone or paving stones as you get nearer the city. It’s a pleasant, mostly relaxed ride—great for a scenic commute or a fun day trip, with Krakow offering endless possibilities for coffee and sightseeing when you arrive!
