Touring in Poland

Both sound great recs, thanks so much

Hi, Gdańsk is positioned on the opposite side of Poland than the mountains. It’s a big country and it’s about 600-700 km to get to them. If you prefer those, think about flying to Krakow or Katowice instead. There are some good off road tracks around Gdańsk, but no mountains I am afraid. Also, long distance touring in Poland is no fun in my opinion. Check this thread- https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/396362/
If you can be slightly more specific of what you want to do, I will try to get you some more info

Thanks 🙏🏼
Yes have been trying to choose whether to head for mountains, it will be April so I guess I also wondered whether it might be too cold to do the tatras…
One rough plan so far was to do some tracks around gedansk heading south for a few days, then maybe take a train in the middle to shorten the route a bit, and finish with some days around krakow.
Trying to find about 6 days worth of mixed surface / off road with a few ups and downs I guess! Prob 50 miles a day or so

April in Poland is notoriously variable- you may be able to ride in short sleeve with beautiful sunshine, get soaked for few days or even encounter some snow, especially in the mountains.
In my opinion, choose N or S of the country and stick to it, as it takes a day to go from Gdansk to Tatra Mountains (Zakopane) by train. Please check our other mountains as it’s not only Tatra- see also areas of Żywiec or Jelenia Góra.

Travelling across the country is not a problem when you go for couple of weeks but more of an issue if it’s a short trip. IMHO Gdańsk would be a better place to go as there is much more to do do if you don’t ride (shit weather), you can enjoy our sea side and airport is only about 30min from the city centre. Check those MTB trials over there- my friend is using them and highly recommends.

I can’t point to anything specific in other areas yet, but I asked the question already and will let you know if anything decent appears.
If you want ride cross country, you could try flying to Gdansk, and head towards Kaszuby (Gdansk-Kościerzyna-Chojnice-Bydgoszcz) or go towards our Lake District Mazury (Gdansk-Elbląg-Olsztyn). Bydgoszcz and Olsztyn are major towns from where you can take train south.

This is really helpful, thank you 🙏🏼

I got some options for bike parks down south if you decide to go over there. Various types and difficulty levels:
