This wonderful trail connecting Ustka with Smoldzino, is probably the first in Poland, which was led through a disused railway line embankment. The trail is a part of the international cycling route R10, which runs around the Baltic Sea. The trail of the non-existent railway tracks amazes with natural landscape values, leading through the protected landscape areas, touching also on the Slowinski National Park buffer zone. The route is well marked and managed. Several so-called bicycle sheds are used as covered resting points for tourists.

The main part of the trail is around 23 km long and connects Ustka with Rowy village. However, you can extend the trip up to approx. 60 km and travel to Rowy through a loop around the lake Gardno. From Rowy to Ustka you can return along the same route or 20 km along the red trail through Debina, Poddabie and Orzechowo, leading mainly through coastal forest, which in places is very difficult to travel by bike. The return trip is also possible on an asphalt road from Rowy to Ustka, unfortunately, in the high season it is rather busy and dangerous.
