EuroVelo 10 (Baltic Sea Cycle Route) is an international long-distance cycle route in the EuroVelo network. It forms a circuit around the Baltic Sea. The official loop is about 9,100 km long and passes through nine countries: Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany. There is no prescribed starting point or direction of travel.
The route links major port cities, resorts, islands, forests, farmland and long stretches of coast. Its standard varies greatly: paved cycleways alternate with gravel, forest roads, concrete slabs, cobbles and ordinary public roads. The official track also includes sections that are still being developed or planned.
UnderstandThe official EuroVelo site provides a full track and a separate track containing only developed, signposted or certified sections. The full GPX does not imply that there is a finished, continuous cycleway.
PrepareUntil the Russian borders reopen, the full official circuit cannot be ridden without a ferry, train or unofficial diversion.
Get inThe most convenient places to start or end are major rail and ferry hubs. Check timetables and bicycle-carriage conditions immediately before travelling.

Facilities along the routeThe southern Baltic coast has a dense range of campsites, hostels, guesthouses, apartments and hotels. In high season, lack of vacancies and high prices are a greater issue than a lack of properties.
