Excursión ciclista de un día de Kyiv a Hnidyn

Looking for a scenic ride away from the city hustle? This cycling route takes you from the heart of Kyiv, Ukraine’s vibrant capital, all the way down to the quieter village of Hnidyn. The journey is just under 47 km—great for a half-day adventure.

You’ll start in Kyiv, rolling through historic neighborhoods and leafy boulevards before making your way onto quieter roads and tracks. Around a third of your ride is on calm country roads, with about half the route on paved or asphalt surfaces. There’s a little bit of gravel and unpaved sections, so a hybrid or gravel bike would be your best bet.

The route is mostly flat, with a mild 165 meters of climbing and a bit more descent, so you’ll get to enjoy some gentle downhills as you approach Hnidyn. Once you arrive, take a breather: Hnidyn is a peaceful spot just southeast of Kyiv, perfect for unwinding after your ride.

Bring water, enjoy the scenery, and don’t forget your camera—there are some pretty views of the Ukrainian countryside along the way!
