Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Zhdanovichy à Minsk

Ready for a laid-back ride from the peaceful town of Zhdanovichy into the heart of Minsk? This roughly 22 km route is a great way to enjoy a nice mix of fresh countryside air and the hustle of city life, all in one go.

You’ll set off from Zhdanovichy, a lakeside spot known for weekend retreats and beautiful green spaces. The ride is mostly on paved surfaces—think smooth asphalt, some paving stones, and a splash of countryside roads—so it’s gentle on your wheels. Over half the journey is on dedicated cycleways, which keeps things safe and relaxed, especially if you want to take in the scenery without worrying about traffic.

You’ll roll through a few quieter roads and access routes, passing the outskirts of town before joining more urban bike paths as you approach Minsk. Minsk itself is famous for its wide boulevards, buzzing modern vibe, and plenty of green parks.

All in all, expect a scenic pedal with a few gentle ups and downs, and plenty of chances to pause and snap a photo—especially as you cruise into the city.
