The land of Poland's best gravel
This May long weekend, we returned to Suwalszczyzna – the land of storks, cows, and hands down the best gravel roads in Poland. With that, we officially kicked off the weekend getaway season – and we did it in style, putting together a crew of 38 people. What a weekend it was! With perfect weather, amazing people, and tons of beautiful memories.
38 people, 3 groups, 4 days, and around 400 km of stunning routes on Suwałki’s signature white gravel. That’s the Camp SUWALSZCZYZNA 2025 in numbers. It was NGE’s biggest trip so far – thank you all for the trust! It’s amazing to see how fast our community is growing and how many beautiful things we’re able to create together.
To make this camp happen, we rented out almost the entire Cisowe Sioło guesthouse. Huge thanks to the owners, Ania and Rysio, for their warm hospitality, delicious food, and the care they put into making sure everyone felt right at home.
We visited Suwalszczyzna last year for a weekend camp – and that’s when we realized this place has the best gravel in all of Poland. No question. We knew right away we had to come back for more than just two days. That’s why we’re kicking off the 2025 season with a long May weekend in this stunning region.
During our four days in Suwalszczyzna, we had the chance to dive into the local cuisine — to the point where flour and fat were practically running through our veins. For some, the local specialties basically became their main food group, and the number of kartacze eaten was a badge of honor 😄 Well, you’ve got to eat big to ride hard!
Those were some beautiful days — it was hard to leave. But we’ve got a packed season ahead! Next week we’re off to Tuscany, and after that, six more weekend getaways across different parts of Poland. So we’ll be seeing you again very soon. Check out what we’ve got planned for you and see you at the next ride!

On the way through the Middle Earth
Vast open spaces, untouched by mankind. Lush green grass and mosses, graphite rocks, and sapphire lakes. Snow-capped peaks and blue glaciers shimmering on the horizon, adding depth to the entire scene. And a gray ribbon of winding gravel road, snaking through this landscape. These were the scenes that central Norway treated us to—earning a special place in our hearts.
Glad Midsommar!
Over the course of four days, from June 19 to 22, a group of 15 brave gravel riders covered 628 km from Karlskrona to Stockholm. The guiding idea was to celebrate the longest days of the year in the saddle, heading north where the sun stays above the horizon even longer.
