Gita in bici di un giorno da Cracovia a Zakopane

This epic cycling route takes you from the beautiful historic city of Kraków right down to Poland’s winter capital, Zakopane, nestled in the Tatra Mountains. Expect a challenging ride: you’ll cover about 136 km with plenty of climbing—over 2,700 meters in total ascent—so bring your mountain legs!

The route mixes it up with surfaces—most of it is on paved and asphalt roads, but you’ll also get stretches on quieter roads, tracks, and a dash of gravel to keep things interesting. Nature lovers will be in their element as you roll through picturesque villages, lush countryside, and finally that iconic mountain backdrop as you approach Zakopane.

Start your journey in Kraków’s charming old town (maybe grab a zapiekanka to fuel up!) and finish amidst Zakopane’s unique wooden architecture and bustling Krupówki Street. Whether you’re in it for the panoramic views or the workout, this ride promises plenty of adventure between two of Poland’s favorite destinations. Don’t forget your camera—and expect your legs to feel it at the finish!
