Gita in bici di un giorno da Cracovia a Skała

Ready for a scenic ride from the heart of Krakow to the quiet town of Skała? This roughly 26 km cycling route gives you a real taste of southern Poland, starting in historic Krakow with its charming Old Town, buzzing squares, and the majestic Wawel Castle. Once you roll out of the city, most of your ride is on peaceful, quiet roads—you’ll barely see any busy streets, making it a relaxing pedal northwards.

The route has a decent climb (you’ll rack up around 365 meters of ascent), but the rolling countryside, especially as you get closer to Skała, makes it worth your effort. Expect mostly smooth asphalt and paved surfaces for an easy spin, though there’s a pinch of gravel to keep things interesting.

You’ll finish in Skała, a small town perched near Ojcowski National Park—home to dramatic limestone cliffs and some micro-adventures if you want to keep exploring. Refuel at a cozy café and enjoy the laid-back vibe before heading back or onward!
