Cycling day trip from Obukhovo to Dachnoye

This ride starts out in Obukhovo, a small settlement just southeast of Saint Petersburg, known for its quieter vibe and lots of green spaces. The route to Dachnoye covers almost 24 km—perfect for a nice half-day outing or a steady commute. Most of the way you’ll be cruising on smooth asphalt, with barely any unpaved sections to worry about.

The journey sticks mainly to access and quieter roads, so you can enjoy the trip without too much city traffic. There’s only a short bit (about 3%) on busier roads, so the ride generally feels relaxed and safe. Elevation is gentle, with just about 60 meters of climbing across the whole ride—nothing too challenging, just enough to stretch your legs.

Your destination, Dachnoye, is a residential neighborhood on the southern edge of Saint Petersburg, close to parks and green spaces like the famous Sosnovaya Polyana. It’s a great spot to grab a snack or wind down after your ride. All in all, it’s a straightforward, scenic cycle with an urban Russian flavor!
