Bicycle routes

The beginning and end of the route is the railway station in Cieszków - we encourage you to come by train. You can also come by car and leave it e.g. on Cieszków's market square.

The route leads through the Lower Silesia-Wielkopolska borderland, near the towns of Cieszków (Lower Silesia) and Zduny (Wielkopolska), mostly through desolate surroundings and little frequented public roads between scattered villages, as well as forest tracks. It is worth noting the buildings typical of a borderland, now two voivodeships with very different histories, and once two states - the German Reich (now Lower Silesia) and Poland reborn after the First World War.

The proposed tour is a one-day trip. However, it is possible to plan a longer stay, an overnight stay in the surrounding area and a cycling stay of several days.
