!! This route ranks among the local TOP 5 !!!

The blue route Pętla Wzgórza Krośnickich (Krosnice Hills Loop) allows you to go around the most interesting places around Krośnice. Its route first leads through the forested bottom of the flat Milice Basin with the Milice Ponds (the charming Krosnice Ponds and the nature trail around the ponds). The pond dykes are overgrown with century-old oak trees with spreading crowns. These are unique oak alleys in the region and the most beautiful section of the trail Then the trail leads through the Trzebnickie Hills - the northern part of the Kitties' Mountains, with numerous beech forests. The trail is marked in blue and leads along paved forest roads and roads (public roads) with low traffic. Unfortunately the asphalts are often bad.

A route along the Krosnice ponds, under centuries-old oak trees, unique in the region.
