BIKING HEL PENINSULA

The biking route in Hel peninsula seems to be one of the most scenic biking routes in Poland. The beginning of the route in Władysławowo is not very special. The route goes parallel to the main peninsula road and in Chałupy the route turns towards fishing port. From this moment the route becomes interesting. The bikers can observe bouncing fish boats, surfing wind and kite surfers and people sitting on the sea coast bank. Then the route goes alongside the quay going close to fish taverns and bars. From Chałupy to Kuźnice the biking route borders with the sea. When the sky is blue the water color is dark blue and shines in the sun. When approaching to Jastarnia the route goes to the forest upside and down. When bikers reach final Hel town – naval and fishing place, definitely there are many food places where one can eat fish from today’s morning catch.
