This cycling route takes you from the lively heart of Rostov-on-Don up to Severnyy, a northern district known for its quieter, residential vibe.

Most of the ride is on quiet roads, so you can enjoy the journey without battling cars, though do keep an eye out for the occasional busy stretch. The route has a modest ascent and descent, with gentle climbs no higher than about 70 meters above sea level—a nice challenge, but nothing too tough for casual cyclists.
