Excursión ciclista de un día de Ustka a Łeba

If you're up for an adventure along Poland’s Baltic coast, this cycling route from Ustka to Łeba is a superb pick! Starting in Ustka, a lively seaside town famous for its sandy beaches, historic lighthouse, and spa vibes, you’ll head northeast through some of Pomerania’s prettiest and wildest stretches.

The journey is about 87 km, mostly flat with gentle ups and downs (just over 500 m of total ascent and descent) – perfect for a relaxed pace but enough to keep things interesting. Surfaces are a true mixed bag: around half the way is paved, but be ready for sections of gravel, concrete, and some missing or rough paths. It’s doable on a sturdy touring or gravel bike, and you’ll spend much of your time on tracks and quiet backroads, cruising through pine forests, farmland, and little coastal villages.

Arriving in Łeba, reward yourself with views of the Słowiński National Park’s famous shifting sand dunes – a truly unique sight! Both towns have a strong summer holiday buzz, so there’s plenty to discover at each end. Don’t forget your camera!
