Dutch cycling media in Western Pomerania

On 11–15 September 2025, a study visit was held for representatives of cycling media from the Netherlands. The aim of the meeting was to present the network of long-distance cycling routes in Western Pomerania and the international EuroVelo routes. The cycling trip began in Szczecin, from where the participants set off on the Around the Szczecin Lagoon Route, and then continued their journey along Velo Baltica (EV 10/13), a section of the international Baltic Sea and Iron Curtain cycling routes. The trip ended in Kołobrzeg.

The visit was organised by the West Pomeranian Regional Tourism Organisation in cooperation with the Polish Tourism Organisation's foreign office in the Netherlands. The trip was led and coordinated by the bicycle communication office.

The following people took part in the visit:
