In this stage, EuroVelo 10 - Baltic Sea Cycle Route follows the amazing Curonian Spit – a UNESCO World Heritage Site - and crosses the Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave). It then crosses the Warimsko-Mazurskie and Pomorskie regions of Poland, where it connects with the GreenVelo route – Poland’s longest cycle route. Warmia and Mazury provide cycling enthusiasts with perfect conditions to practice their favourite form of recreation: forest vistas, dirt paths winding through lakes. EuroVelo 10 leads you through this region until Elblag where you enter the Pomorskie region. The stage ends in Gdańsk, the bustling port city of freedom and Solidarity. The road to Gdańsk leads through Żuławy and Mierzeja Wiślana, a region with special cultural and landscape values, where Malbork is the most powerful medieval castle in Europe - a UNESCO monument.

Due to border crossing and travel restrictions in place, we discourage cyclists from entering Russia at the moment. Thanks to close cooperation with our partners, we are able to suggest a reliable alternative, avoiding high traffic, from Neringa in Lithuania to Braniewo in Poland (527 km). You can download the GPX tracks here or directly visualise them here for Lithuania and here for Poland. Please note that this route is not part of the official EuroVelo 10 itinerary but ensures continuity for now.

Development status
  • Certified These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
  • Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
  • Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.

  • Undeveloped / Unknown These sections do not meet minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels or surface quality – or their conditions are currently unknown. They may include dangerous stretches. Cyclists choosing to cycle there should use a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. It is recommended to use public transport to skip these areas where possible.
  • Public transport link These sections include continuity across seas or rivers and undeveloped parts of the network that can be skipped with a reliable public transport connection allowing bicycle transport.
