The journey begins in the town of Ystad, on Sweden’s southern coast.

In Finland, EuroVelo 10 crosses the north of the country, along the Gulf of Bothnia to Helsinki, passing through spectacular scenery, including the Kvarken region with its narrow rock formations. Cyclists then cross the world’s largest archipelago near Åland, an autonomous Finnish region, and follow the Gulf of Finland to St. Petersburg, Russia. In Lithuania, the Seaside Cycle Route takes over. It follows the coast for over 100 kilometers, offering magnificent views and the chance to discover historic towns such as Klaipeda.

The journey continues in Poland, where EuroVelo 10 merges with EuroVelo 13, offering adventurers a double discovery of the country. Work is underway to improve the route, with quality surfaces, bike parking and improved signage.
