Excursión ciclista de un día de Szklarska Poręba a Świeradów-Zdrój

Here’s a scenic cycling route linking two charming mountain towns: Szklarska Poręba to Świeradów-Zdrój. This 25 km ride takes you through the heart of the Western Sudetes, mixing paved stretches with a healthy dose of gravel and tracks—you’ll want a bike that can handle a bit of everything!

Starting in Szklarska Poręba, a lively spot known for skiing and hiking, you’ll climb steadily (almost 500 meters up!) towards the high point of nearly 1,000 meters. The views of the surrounding Karkonosze mountains make every switchback worth it. The route leans mostly on quiet roads and tracks, keeping you away from heavy traffic, with just a short busy stretch.

The descent into Świeradów-Zdrój (famous for its spa heritage and picturesque colonnades) is a treat—expect to cruise downhill for longer sections. Whether you’re into local mineral waters or just want to relax in a mountain café, Świeradów-Zdrój is a perfect finish. Pack snacks and a camera—this is a ride to savor!
