Cycling day trip from Giżycko to Węgorzewo

This scenic cycling route takes you from Giżycko, the yachting capital of Poland's Masurian Lakes, all the way to Węgorzewo, a charming town nestled at the edge of Lake Mamry. Covering just under 35 km, the route weaves through peaceful countryside and small villages, with rolling farmland and forests typical of the region.

Most of the ride is on quiet roads, so you can really relax and enjoy the landscape. Expect a good mix of surfaces—some paved, some stretches with gravel, and even classic paving stones—so a hybrid or gravel bike will be your friend here. With just over 200 meters of gentle climbing and descent, it's rolling but totally doable, even if you’re not a hill fanatic.

Both Giżycko and Węgorzewo are steeped in history. In Giżycko, check out the famous swing bridge and the impressive Boyen Fortress before you set out. Once in Węgorzewo, unwind by the lakeshore or enjoy a cold drink at the marina. It's a relaxed ride perfect for anyone looking to soak up the beautiful lakes region of Masuria!
