Once you're set, we’ll begin our historical journey with a guided tour of one of Europe’s most incredible WWII sites: the "Underground City" (Podziemne Miasto). Kept secret for decades, this vast subterranean complex of bunkers was built by the Germans and later used as a Cold War command center. It’s an unforgettable experience.

From there, the day is full of choices: we can hunt for hidden seaside bunkers, visit the remote Kikut Lighthouse, and explore the haunting, vine-covered Ruins of the Dreżewo Palace. We’ll end our day in Niechorze, right under the gaze of its iconic lighthouse.

Day 4: Kołobrzeg → Darłowo
Theme: The Royal City
"Must-See" Highlights: Darłowo (The Ducal Castle).

We’ll have plenty of options for beachside coffee stops. Our destination and main event is Darłowo, the home of King Eric of Pomerania. We'll arrive with plenty of time to check in and explore the city before our deep dive into the magnificent Ducal Castle tomorrow morning.

After a morning exploring Ducal Castle, our ride begins! We'll see the Darłówko lighthouse and ride through the historic, half-timbered "checkered house" villages of the region. The day’s flexible highlight is a, leisurely stop in the bustling and beautiful port of Ustka, a local favorite for its vibrant promenade and pier. We'll end in the quiet village of Rowy, our gateway to the national park.
Day 6: Rowy → Białogóra
Theme: Shifting Sands & Lost Villages
"Must-See" Highlights: Słowiński National Park, Kluki Open-Air Museum.
Prepare for a landscape like no other. Today is all about Słowiński National Park. The must-see highlights are the famous "shifting sand dunes"—a true desert by the sea—and the Kluki Open-Air Museum, a preserved village of the Slovincians, a lost people of the bogs. This day is full of incredible nature, and we'll take our time to soak it all in, with many options for scenic detours and forest trails.
Day 7: Białogóra → Hel
Theme: The Fortress Peninsula
"Must-See" Highlights: Museum of Coastal Defence.
Our grand finale! We ride to the "end of Poland." The main event is the ride itself: the stunning Hel Peninsula bike path, a 22 mile forest trail with the sea on both sides. Along the way, we'll have our choice of stopping at historic fishing villages like Jastarnia and Jurata. Our ride ends at the tip, where we'll explore the massive WWII bunkers of the Museum of Coastal Defence. It's an epic end to our cycling journey.
Day 8: A Scenic Ferry to Gdańsk
Theme: A Scenic Cruise & Historic Finale
"Must-See" Highlights: Ferry across the Bay of Puck, Gdańsk (Old Town, Neptune's Fountain).
Our adventure isn't over yet. After a final breakfast on the peninsula, we'll board the passenger ferry for a beautiful and relaxing cruise across the bay, landing in the heart of Gdańsk. This city is a stunningly restored masterpiece with a history that changed the world. Once we dock, our job is to take care of your bike, getting it professionally packed for your flight home or for its shipment. Your job is to explore. We'll check into our final hotel, and the rest of the day is yours to wander the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, see the iconic Neptune's Fountain, and admire the colorful merchant houses that line the waterfront.
