Due to a very well-developed accommodation base, one should stay on a peninsula a little longer. From Swarzewo to Gdynia the route is marked in blue.

The route is quite easy and runs, in a large part, separated by bike ( through the Hel Peninsula), asphalt roads and concrete panels and at times through the forest vistas (from Puck to Gdynia). Gravel surface occurs between Swarzewo and Puck and between Hel and Jurata and small hills on these parts of road seem a bit tiresome. However, this does not detract from the viewing advantages of the outstanding routes.

The trip can be stopped in several places (eg. in Puck) and return to Gdynia by train. From Puck it is possible to change the route in the direction of Krokowa (17 km of new cycle route of the former railway line), or of Rumia along the trail R10 on the flat terrain and good surface.
