Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Minsk à Malinovka

This cycling route starts in the heart of Minsk, the vibrant capital of Belarus, famous for its modern Soviet architecture, broad avenues, and bustling city life. You'll cruise southwest for about 20 kilometers toward Malinovka, a popular residential district known for its leafy parks and relaxed vibe.

Most of the ride is on smooth terrain, with only a few gentle climbs—the highest point reaches just over 240 meters. The roads are mostly paved or asphalt, and more than 40% of your journey follows dedicated cycleways. You’ll enjoy a mix of quiet roads, pedestrian areas, and the occasional stretch through green, tree-lined streets. While a small part of the route uses paving stones and concrete, the majority is comfortable riding.

As you roll into Malinovka, you’ll notice a shift from city bustle to a calmer, suburban atmosphere. Take a break at one of the local cafes or explore the nearby parks before heading back. This is a great ride for urban explorers looking to see both Minsk’s city life and its more laid-back outskirts!
