Overview

Bike tour Warsaw – Gdansk along Vistula River individual

The Vistula River is the longest river in Poland and connects important historical cities in Poland such as Cracow, Warsaw and Gdansk. The Queen of Polish rivers is a natural river. It forms a landscape that is found nowhere else in Europe. Its course was hardly regulated. It flows through the entire country from the Beskids Mountains in the south to Gdańsk in the northern part of Poland. The Vistula River is home for many mammals. Here you can meet the rare otter and numerous beaver and muskrats. But the greatest wealth of the river makes its wildlife and first of all birds – here you meet both most types simultaneously as well as rare and endangered bird species.

If you would like to get familiar with the wildlife and environment along the Vistula River, we offer an eight-day bike tour from Warsaw to Gdansk along the Vistula. On the way you will visit historical places such as the Gothic Old Town in the town of Copernicus – Toruń, picturesque towns such as Chełmno, Grudziądz and Malbork, where there is a huge the Teutonic castle. From Torun to Gdańsk, our cycling trip takes us not only along the Vistula but also along the castles of the Teutonic order. Our trips end in Gdansk – the pearl of the Baltic Sea with its amazing Old Town.
