Bikepacking from Tallinn to Riga

Hey there, cycling enthusiast! Ready to embark on an epic two-country bike adventure from Tallinn to Riga? This route takes you on a delightful 444 km journey south, showcasing the beautiful landscapes of Estonia and Latvia.

You’ll kick off in Tallinn, a charming city with a blend of medieval history and modern vibes. Don't forget to explore the old town's cobblestone streets before you hit the road. As you pedal your way through quiet country roads and cycleways, you'll get a feel for the serene Baltic countryside. Expect a bit of a workout with an ascent of about 1,597 meters, but don't worry—those descents will give you some well-earned coasting time.
