Excursión ciclista de un día de Gdynia a Hel

This scenic cycling route takes you from the lively coastal city of Gdynia all the way to the famous Hel Peninsula—a real treat for fans of long but rewarding rides! You'll start at Gdynia’s vibrant waterfront, a hub of modern architecture and maritime history, then cruise north along the coast, weaving through seaside villages and lush pine forests. The route is mostly on paved surfaces (watch for some gravel and old paving stones in spots), and includes a mix of dedicated cycleways and peaceful rural roads, so you’ll get a bit of everything under your wheels.

As you approach the tip of the Hel Peninsula, you’ll be rewarded with wide-open views of the Baltic Sea on both sides. The town of Hel itself is a unique spot—think sandy beaches, quirky fishing boats, and the historic Hel lighthouse. It’s perfect for relaxing after a solid day on the bike. This ride is gently rolling, so it’s friendly for most riders, but the nearly 80 km length means it’ll feel like an accomplishment when you finish! Pro tip: pack a swimsuit and enjoy a dip at the finish line.
