Cycling in Poland: Which regions are worth seeing and are there bike paths?

Good evening, We go on a cycling trip abroad every year for about twenty days. Obviously, we prefer small roads to discover a country. Is it possible to explore Poland mainly by taking small roads? Apart from the beautiful cities (Kraków, Warsaw, etc.), are there any regions worth discovering by bike? Thanks in advance for your replies. Jean-lucbergot

Hi! If you want to take the back roads, it's a good idea to get topographic maps of specific areas, available at the Decathlon in Warsaw. Plus, these maps show bike paths. Otherwise, if you want to see wolves, deer, and bison, you should head to the Białowieża Forest. Still, make sure you have good tires. There’s also Masuria, where I’d love to go. It’s a region with tons of lakes.

Hi there, Check out what Simonthread has to say on the topic, especially about the route along the Baltic. I was interested in it myself...

Hi there,

Mazuria has an excellent reputation for this kind of trip, but the Baltic coast can also be a great option.? Just be aware, it’s actually quite touristy.

Thanks so much for this info. This Polish section of EuroVelo 10 does sound really interesting.

Thanks for your reply. Where is Mazury located in Poland?

Thanks for this answer. Where is Mazuria located in Poland?

Hi there, I did advise you earlier to get maps of Poland—it’s still a good idea. Mazuria is the voivodeship located in north-central Poland, around Toruń.

Hi,

I was thinking Warmia-Masuria, and the tourism hub in this region is the city of Giżycko.

Hello,

No, Toruń isn’t it at all—I was talking about the Warmia-Mazury Voivodeship.
