🛠️ Practical tips
In summer the prevailing wind is from the west — it is easier to ride from Darłowo to Ustka (with the wind at your back) than the other way.
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.
Download Komoot or OsmAnd with the EV10 route. The route is marked with green signs bearing the letter "R-10".
