Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Kalodzishchy à Minsk

Kick off your ride in the cozy suburb of Kolodishchi, a town east of Minsk popular for its peaceful vibe and easy access to the city. The route to Minsk is about 24.5 km and offers a mix of scenery as you head towards the Belarusian capital.

Most of the ride takes you along quiet roads, so it’s ideal for cyclists who want to avoid heavy traffic. You’ll cruise on a blend of smooth asphalt and paved sections for almost half the journey, with some stretches of unpaved or natural ground—just enough to keep things interesting but nothing too daunting.

With just under 200 meters of climbing and a gentle net descent, it’s a friendly ride for most fitness levels. As you approach Minsk, the landscape shifts from rural tranquility to the lively buzz of the city, ending among its tree-lined avenues and vibrant café culture. Minsk is known for its striking Soviet-era architecture and broad boulevards—be sure to take a moment and soak it in before heading home!
