Excursión ciclista de un día de Minsk a Kalodzishchy

Looking for a relaxed countryside ride just outside Minsk? This 24.5 km cycling route takes you from the heart of Belarus’s capital, known for its grand Soviet architecture and sprawling parks, out to the quieter village of Kolodishchi. Starting from the bustling city center, you’ll spin your way past leafy urban streets before hitting quieter local roads and peaceful paths.

The ride features a gentle mix of paved and asphalt surfaces, with some short unpaved stretches—nothing too wild, just enough to keep things interesting. You’ll climb a total of about 230 meters, but most of it is gradual, so don’t worry about any tough hills!

Kolodishchi itself is a charming, laid-back suburb, perfect for a breather or a coffee stop before heading back. The route has little car traffic and passes through pretty Belarusian countryside with the occasional patch of forest. It’s a great way to escape the city buzz without venturing too far. Just make sure your tires can handle a bit of mild gravel, and you’re set for a pleasant suburban adventure!
