The Polish section of EuroVelo 9 is one of the flattest segments of the entire route, making it an ideal cycling route for families. It also takes cycling tourists to a great number of natural and historical sites, such as the Lower Vistula Valley and Wielkopolski National Park. It starts on the Baltic coast, in the city of Gdańsk, with its new museum dedicated to WWII. The route then follows the Vistula river bank southwards to Inowrocław from where it turns west to the historical city of Poznań. The next major stop is the university city of Wrocław on the Odra river before it reaches the Polish / Czech border in the Sudety mountains.
