Via Baltica

End of the tour: the expected return is on 18 June 2027 in the evening, or early in the morning of 19 June 2027.

The exact time of return will depend on the current traffic situation and traffic density during the journey.

Capacity: 36 participants. If you book the tour by 31 December 2026 you get a discount of 100 € per person! Why set off on VIA BALTICA 2027?

Because the Polish Baltic coast offers a completely different atmosphere from what we are used to at the Mediterranean.

Instead of high mountains, extensive pine forests, endless sandy beaches, fresh sea air, historic harbours, romantic lighthouses and quiet cycle routes await us.

On a single tour we will discover wonderful nature, interesting history, technical curiosities and the traditional life of the people of the Polish coast.

By bike along the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea.

We invite you on a unique 11-day cycling tour, VIA BALTICA 2027, on which we will discover the most beautiful corners of the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea, its wonderful sandy beaches, pine forests, nature reserves, historic seaside towns, lighthouses, harbours and many technical and historical monuments. Our cycling journey begins in the port city of Świnoujście near the German border and leads us gradually along the Baltic coast to the historic town of Elbląg, near the Vistula Lagoon.

An unforgettable journey awaits us through a landscape where the sea meets forests, sand dunes, lakes and picturesque fishing villages. Most routes will follow cycle paths, forest roads and quieter roads, mostly in flat terrain.

Organisation of the cycling programme: during our 11-day tour we will ride 9 separate daily cycling routes, planned so that we get to know as many natural beauties, historic places and technical sights of the Polish coast as possible.

The individual stages will generally be up to 65 km a day. The routes will be mostly flat and suitable for leisure cyclists and e-bike riders as well. An experienced guide will accompany the group throughout the tour, organising the stages and providing information about the places visited. Given the distances between some locations, participants will also be transferred as needed by luxury coach together with their bikes in the new bike trailer to the hotel or to the start of the next stage.

What will we see on our journey?

Świnoujście and Wolin Island: we begin our journey in Świnoujście, known for its important seaport, wide beaches and one of the tallest brick lighthouses in the world.

We will also get to know the surroundings of Wolin Island, its wonderful beech forests, views of the Baltic Sea and the natural beauty of Wolin National Park.

Międzyzdroje, Dziwnów and Kołobrzeg: we ride through popular seaside resorts with beautiful promenades, fishing harbours, piers and historic lighthouses. In Kołobrzeg we can admire the famous lighthouse, the historic centre, the harbour and the monumental Gothic basilica. Ustronie Morskie, Mielno and Darłowo: over the next kilometres we are accompanied by wonderful sandy beaches, coastal forests and lakes. We visit the area around Mielno and Lake Jamno, the historic town of Darłowo with the castle of the Pomeranian dukes, and the seaside district of Darłówko with its lighthouse and harbour.

Ustka and surroundings: the well-known spa and port town of Ustka awaits us, with historic streets, a lighthouse, harbour breakwaters and wonderful coastal forests. In the area we will discover quiet cycle routes leading through nature and along the Baltic Sea. Łeba – the kingdom of shifting sand dunes: one of the greatest natural experiences of the whole tour will be a visit to Słowiński National Park, known for its huge shifting sand dunes. This exceptional landscape resembles a sandy desert in the middle of northern Europe.

We will also get to know the area around lakes Łebsko and Sarbsko, wonderful pine forests, nature reserves and historic fishing settlements.

Władysławowo and the Hel Peninsula: in the next part of our journey we get to know the Władysławowo area, a well-known fishing port and the gateway to the Hel Peninsula. This narrow strip of land separates the open Baltic Sea from the Bay of Puck. The area is known for its beaches, lighthouses, fishing tradition and remains of military fortifications.

Gdańsk – the historic pearl of the Polish coast: one of the highlights of the tour will be a visit to the wonderful historic city of Gdańsk. We will admire its famous historic centre, the Long Market, Neptune's Fountain, the monumental St Mary's Church, the historic harbour crane Żuraw and the picturesque Motława riverside.

Technical and maritime monuments, historic shipyards and places linked with Poland's rich maritime history will be interesting too.

Elbląg – the end of our journey: we finish our cycling tour in the historic town of Elbląg, which boasts a beautifully restored old town, Gothic monuments and an interesting technical history.

In this area there is also the world-famous Elbląg Canal, renowned for its unique system of ship lifts on which boats are carried overland. It is one of Poland's most remarkable technical monuments.

Two-day stays in Łeba and Gdańsk: so that we can enjoy these exceptionally interesting areas without packing our luggage every day, we have planned two stays of two nights each in the same hotel.

Łeba – 2 nights: cycling trips in the surrounding area, to nature reserves, lakes, dunes and coastal forests. After the trips we return to the same hotel.

Gdańsk – 2 nights: exploring the historic city and its wider surroundings by bike. Here too the trips will be organised with a return to the same hotel.

On the remaining days we will continue gradually along the coast towards the east.
