Tri-City Route

The most famous, chosen as a destination for walks much more willingly than other tourist routes in Gdańsk, also known as the Tri-City Hills trail. It is almost 50 km long and runs through the administrative borders of Gdynia and Gdańsk, which definitely facilitates access from most hotels or guesthouses, even by public transport. It is worth traversing at least part of the nearest area, adjusting the course of the journey to your abilities. The route is very varied, it also leads through beautiful forest areas, touching viewpoints. This is a yellow trail, available for beginners and intermediates. It is only partly accessible for bicycles, due to the very diverse terrain, so we recommend walking it.

The most interesting places on the Tri-City Route are:

• Old Sobieski Reservoir
• Snail viewpoint in Jaśkowy Las
• Ascension of Mary
• Sanctuary of Our Lady of Pregnancy in Matemblewo
• Mount Donas
• Devil’s Stone in the Oliwa Forest

Gdynia Trail Kępa Redłowska

When choosing a hotel in Sopot or Gdańsk, we do not have to limit ourselves to visiting these cities only. Gdynia has as much to offer us, so it is worth finding time for a walk there as well. Walking along the cliff coast, which is elevated up to 65 meters above sea level, we have a chance to admire the Swedish rowan, a protected tree species found only in Pomerania, the remains of the firing positions of the 11th Battery of the Permanent Artillery from the 1950s and the beautiful views from the Redłowo Promontory to the Gulf of Gdańsk.

The vantage point, the tower in Kolibki, offers a wonderful view of the Gulf of Gdańsk, forests, buildings, and is a perfect culmination of a walk in this area. It is worth climbing the stairs to the very top of the tower.
