Paseo rápido en bici de Zhdanovichy a Novoye Medvezhino

Here’s a great urban-escape cycling route from Zhdanovichy to Novoye Medvezhino, stretching just over 14 kilometers and mixing some gentle hills with mostly paved surfaces. You’ll start in Zhdanovichy—a lakeside suburb to the west of Minsk, known for its relaxing vibe and proximity to the beautiful Zaslavskoye Reservoir. The first half of the ride features a pleasant mix of quiet roads and access roads, giving you a smooth roll and a nice warm up.

As you head south, look out for some tougher climbs (about 130 meters of ascent overall), but nothing too challenging. The route winds through varied surfaces: it’s mostly asphalt and paving stones, but keep an eye out for a few brief stretches with unpaved or ground sections—mostly manageable, even on a city or hybrid bike.

You’ll finish in Novoye Medvezhino, a modern Minsk district popular with families and young professionals. There are a few parks nearby if you feel like a cool down. All in all, it’s a great route for anyone wanting to explore the western edge of Minsk and enjoy a mix of urban and semi-rural cycling!
