Green Velo - cycling adventure in Eastern Poland

The Green Velo trail is the longest cycling route in Poland, stretching for approximately 2,000 kilometers across the eastern part of the country. It passes through five voivodeships: Warmian-Masurian, Podlaskie, Lublin, Subcarpathian, and Świętokrzyskie, showcasing diverse landscapes such as the Masurian lakes, the Biebrza Marshes, and the Bieszczady Mountains. Along the way cyclists can explore cultural and historical landmarks including the UNESCO-listed city of Zamość, the ancient Białowieża Forest, and the Baroque palace in Białystok. However, it is important to note that Green Velo mostly follows public roads, there is almost no dedicated cycling infrastructure. Riders should be prepared for varying road conditions and traffic. Despite these challenges, the route offers a unique blend of nature, history, and adventure, making it an appealing choice for those seeking an authentic cycling experience.
