Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Skopje do Sopište

Looking for a quick escape from the bustling city vibes of Skopje? This manageable 8 km cycling route will take you south to the peaceful village of Sopište. Starting in Skopje—North Macedonia’s lively capital, known for its eclectic mix of Ottoman, Byzantine, and modernist architecture—you’ll roll out on mostly paved and quiet roads, with just a splash of city hustle to keep things interesting.

You’ll be gaining about 277 meters in elevation as you pedal, so expect a bit of a workout (but hey, the views over Skopje Valley are totally worth it). Most of your ride is on asphalt and quiet roads, with some patches of paving stones as you get closer to charming Sopište—a laid-back village that feels a world away, yet is just a short ride from the city center.

This route is perfect for anyone wanting to swap urban energy for a taste of countryside, all in under an hour’s ride. Just remember to bring some water—the climb can work up a thirst!
