Łeba is a wonderful destination for cycling enthusiasts, offering picturesque cycling routes that lead through extraordinary landscapes, from golden beaches to mysterious forests and fascinating dunes. Here's a list and descriptions of the most interesting cycling routes in Łeba and the surrounding area:
The route around Lake Łebsko
Difficulty level: difficult
Length: approximately 70 km (flooded forest +6 km)
Travel time: 4-6 hours
Dedicated bike: MTB, eMTB
We begin the route by choosing one of two paths to the village of Żarnowska. One leads along the bike path along road 214 or along the birdwatching trail next to the labyrinth. This is the most difficult and longest route with unique views of one of the largest lakes in Poland, shifting dunes, and towns such as Gać, Izbica, and Kluki. In spring, the very difficult mudflats before Kluki are best detoured. In the village of Gać, we can climb a large viewing platform. In Czołpino, we'll climb the Czołpino dunes and the lighthouse. Nearby is Rowokół, with a view of Lake Gardno. Returning to a very wide beach, with a bit of luck, you might find amber.
Route to Lake Sarbsko
Length: Approximately 17 km
Difficulty Level: Easy
Travel Time: Approximately 1 hour
Description: To get to the trail, drive to the town of Nowęcin, then turn left after the horse stables. The entire route is easy and requires no special skills. Beautiful views and a quiet forest await. In summer, you can pick berries and mushrooms. A stop at a viewpoint will provide a wealth of information about the local flora. Finally, you can relax and admire a windsurfing school, enjoy a coffee at a tavern, or rent water sports equipment. This route is particularly interesting due to the reserve's natural beauty and the relaxing atmosphere.
The route through the Słowiński National Park
Length: Approximately 15 km
Difficulty Level: Easy
Travel Time: Approximately 1 hour
Description: The route runs through the heart of Słowiński National Park, offering unforgettable views of shifting sand dunes, forests, and lakes. It's a perfect opportunity to take a closer look at the region's unique landscapes and biodiversity. The route requires a bit more physical exertion, but the views and closeness to nature are worth it. We set off from Łeba, heading west toward the town of Rąbka. From Rąbka, there's a single route where we can stop along the way and visit the Rocket Launcher Museum. At the end, we stop and leave our bikes in the free bike racks on the left, or if we're worried about our equipment, there's a paid, guarded parking lot on the right.
Łeba - Smołdzino route
Length: Approximately 20 km
Difficulty Level: Easy
Description: This is an ideal option for those looking for a shorter but equally attractive route. It leads from Łeba to Smołdzino, a small town located on the outskirts of Słowiński National Park. The route offers picturesque views of the surrounding forests, meadows, and lakes, and is easy and enjoyable even for less experienced cyclists.
Route to the Stilo lighthouse
Length: Approximately 23 km
Difficulty: Moderate
Travel time: Approximately 2 hours
Description: The trail begins at the end of Nadmorska Street. After entering the forest, after a few meters, turn right after a barrier to enjoy views of Lake Sarbskie and, later, the town of Sarbsk. Beautiful greenery and heathland await. At the lighthouse, there's an uphill climb. On the return, take a more sandy path with a view of the sea. Along the way, you'll see the mast of the West Star wreck and beautiful beaches.
