Bikepacking de Tallin a Pärnu

Set off from the medieval charm of Tallinn and enjoy a scenic ride all the way to the summer capital of Estonia—Pärnu! This nearly 206 km journey takes you through a tapestry of quiet country roads and dedicated cycleways, perfect for those who like a bit of adventure and solitude on the saddle. While most of the route is blissfully calm, about 45% of the surface is a bit of a mystery—so be ready for the unexpected (always a good idea to bring spare tubes and sturdy tires).

You’ll roll over a mix of smooth asphalt and crunchier gravel sections, passing through lush forests, rural Estonian villages, and open fields. Don’t miss a coffee stop in the smaller towns to experience local hospitality. The ride is mostly gentle with only some moderate hills—nothing a regular cyclist can’t handle.

Arriving in Pärnu, take a well-deserved dip in the Baltic Sea or relax on the city’s famous sandy beach. Both Tallinn and Pärnu are steeped in history and culture, making this route the perfect way to experience Estonia’s heartland on two wheels.
