The Pomorska 500 is a bikepacking event that wanders through the Pomeranian watershed. There will be no river crossings…
People have been traveling along rivers for centuries… You already know that. What if we looked at rivers and how important they are from the other side and found their sources. Is it possible? We traveled through the desolate areas of Pomerania and Western Pomerania. Equipped with hydrological maps, we found roads, paths and off-roads that show where Płonia, Ina, Rega, Drawa, Parsęta, Gwda, Brda, Łeba, Radunia begin. Our Pomeranian Watershed – a memento of glacial history from 12,000 years ago. Today, it is a heritage of nature and for us, also a heritage of adventure. 500 kilometers even closer to rivers, the bloodstream of nature, without which there would be no civilization.
A changed route, but the same idea of showing you where the Pomeranian rivers begin. Valleys, hills, forests and dozens of kilometers of traditional roads, where you will hear birdsong more often than the roar of engines.
From Szczecin to Sopot, from the mouth of the Oder to the mouth of the Vistula, close to nature, which constantly captivates and amazes. We invite you to a cycling expedition, which is called nothing else but “legendary”. Previous editions have strengthened the opinion about this route, that it thoroughly tests the characters of daredevils, of whom almost 2000 have stood at the start so far. To pass all the hills along the way, to notice the sources of the rivers passed, to admire panoramas, the existence of which no one was aware before – to reach the Sopot beach.
This is the challenge and true adventure cycling competition without outside support.
