Bicycle routes

One of the most beautiful and at the same time very comfortable and safe routes in the Barycz Valley. It can be completed in both directions. It runs along cycle paths in the Żmigród commune, and has the form of a comfortable loop - the start and finish are in the same place - in Żmigród. The route is ideal for every cyclist who appreciates secluded areas, breathtaking views and communing with nature. It is also perfect for families with children, especially beginners.

Route: Żmigród - Kanclerzowice - Powidzko - Przedkowice - Sieczków - Osiek - Jamnik - Żmigród

 Cycle path along the Barycz River, Żmigród

The route is approximately 20 km long (without descents to attractions or restaurants). It runs exclusively on cycle paths - separated from cars. Entirely asphalted, with no ascents or climbs.

Attractions: the route leads along cycle paths, through desolate areas, outside Kanclerzowice it even bypasses villages, so the main attractions are the beautiful views of the vast expanses of the Barycz River, flocks of cranes gathering in the fields, or clusters of black storks.

The Palace and Park Complex (PPC) in Żmigród - a permanent ruin protected for sightseeing, with a historic 16th century brick tower (entrance fee applies); the tower houses Tourist Information. The PPC  is surrounded by an extensive, well-maintained public park, with numerous paths, bridges and valuable plant species.
