Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Karpacz à Špindlerův Mlýn

Get ready for a real mountain adventure! This cross-border cycling route kicks off in Karpacz, a charming Polish town popular for mountain hikes and its quirky wooden Church of Wang. From there, you’ll climb into the Karkonosze Mountains, with nearly 900 meters of ascent—so make sure your legs (and brakes!) are ready.

The route rolls mostly along quiet roads and forest tracks. Expect beautiful views, especially as you approach the highest point—over 1,190 meters above sea level. Since about a quarter of the route’s surface isn't fully paved, things might get a bit bumpy in places, but most of your ride will be speedy on smooth asphalt.

Finish up in Špindlerův Mlýn, one of the Czech Republic’s top winter resorts, buzzing with cafés and all-year mountain vibes. Both the start and end towns are gateways to epic hikes, ski runs, and cool mountain air, so plan to stay and explore. It’s not the longest ride, but the altitude gain will make it feel like a proper mountain trek. Happy climbing!
