🛠️ Practical tips

90% of the route is asphalt or paved paths. Short dirt sections in the forest — a trekking bike is enough.
In Karwia and the surrounding towns there are grocery shops, bars and restaurants. Between towns it can be empty — take water with you.
Nearest stations: Sławno (15 km) or Ustka (18 km). Bike on a regional train — bike ticket ~9 PLN.
Best season: May to September. Check the forecast and sea conditions before you set off.
