Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Kiev à Khotiv

Heading out from the heart of Kyiv, this roughly 29 km ride to Khotiv is a lovely escape from the city buzz into some quieter, scenic outskirts. You’ll kick off surrounded by Kyiv’s iconic sights and energy—don’t be surprised if you pass by a golden-domed church or two as you wind your way south!

The route mostly keeps you on quiet and access roads, with a good mix of asphalt and paved surfaces, though there’s a little bit of adventure: a few sections might be a bit patchy or unpaved, so keep your eyes peeled for ground or cobblestone stretches, especially out of the city.

You’ll clock almost 300 meters of ascent, but take heart—there’s even more descending as you cruise into Khotiv. Khotiv itself is a peaceful village known for its picturesque landscapes, fields, and even some archaeological sites nearby, offering a great place to take a breather before heading back. All in all, it’s a refreshing roll from urban hustle to laid-back countryside—ideal if you’re looking for a change of pace and a bit of fresh air!
