Excursión ciclista de un día de Voronezh a Somovo

From Voronezh to Somovo – A Scenic Spin

Kick off your ride in Voronezh, a lively city on the banks of the Voronezh River and the unofficial capital of Central Black Earth Region. As you pedal out of town, you’ll leave behind urban bustle for the open, rolling countryside. The route covers about 25 km and is pretty mellow, with some gentle uphills (you’ll gain about 77 meters), and more downhills (even better!).

You’ll spend a lot of time cruising on quiet roads and access roads, although be ready for a mix of surfaces—while much of the route is asphalt and paved, around half is unpaved or gravel, so a hybrid or gravel bike is your best bet.

Somovo, your destination, is a peaceful village within easy reach of the Voronezhskiy Biosphere Reserve—so take a breather, soak up the pastoral surroundings, and maybe spot some local wildlife if you’re lucky. It’s a relaxed ride with plenty of rural vibes, perfect for a half-day adventure out of town.
