Interesting cycling routes

1. Zawiercie-Blanowice-Kromołów-Karlin-Giebło-Pilica-Podzamcze-Ogrodzieniec-Zawiercie – calm route, you should keep special caution only on one section starting in  Pilica because of heavy car traffic. It gives you a chance of watching castles in Pilica and in Podzamcze and monumental churches in Kromołów, Pilica, Ogrodzieniec and one of the oldest Polish bricked churches in Giebło. Section from Kromołów to Pilica is the most interesting and difficult fragment of this route. Two long and fast downhill rides are characteristic. When you pass Podzamcze (after passing short drive-way from the village side) the first one appears and when you leave Ogrodzieniec the second one appears.
2. Zawiercie-Kromołów-Bzów-Fugasówka-Zawiercie – a short route gives you a possibility of visiting and watching manor house in Bzów and the “Czarna Przemsza” river-heads. The main partruns through calm and idyllic areas.
3. Zawiercie-Blanowice-Skarżyce-Morsko-Włodowice-Zawiercie – route runs through ruins of the Mirów castle and ruins of the Włodowice palace. Almost all walkway run through Jura areas and dangerous hairpin bends, which will you drive through when you leave Włodowice. There are interesting panorama places in Blanowice and Włodowice. Many rocks, among which there is one of the most famous one called the Skarżycki the “ Okiennik Wielki” are situated on this route.
4. Zawiercie-Blanowice-Skarżyce-Lgota Murowana-Kroczyce-Podlesice-Rzędkowice-Włodowice-Rudniki-Zawiercie – an interesting route but quite long one. We especially recommend you to see one of the most wonderful rock forms: the “Okiennik Wielki” in Skarżyce, rocks in Piaseczna, the “Zborów” Mountain, the “Rzędkowickie” Mountain. When you stand on the “Zborów” Mountain and when you come to Włodowice and Rudniki you can admire interesting panorama.
5. Zawiercie-Kroczyce-Pradła-Lelów-Bystrzanowice-Janów-Złoty Potok-Żarki-Myszków-Zawiercie – a very long route (about 100 km) but worth seeing because it runs through east part of Jura, which is calmer and less known. We recommend you to stop to see Lelów, Staromieście, manor house in Bystrzanowice, Janów, the “Wiercica” Valley, Żarki. On the route you can also see a palace and a manor house in Złoty Potok as well as ruins of the “Ostrężnik” castle. Section from Janów to Żarki is the most interesting one.
6. Ogrodzieniec-Rodaki-Kwaśniów-Cieślin-Bydlin-Dłużec-Strzegowa-Smoleń-Pilica-Ogrodzieniec – next little-known route. It runs along the “Smoleńsko-Niegowonickie” Ranges, from Rodaki where you find a monumental wooden castle to Pilica. Numerous monuments and interesting views. The route is quite difficult as drive-way to Świniuszka is especially exacting but then there is a long downhill road to Rodaki. The area is very wavy on section from Bydlin to Pilica. You can admire castles in Bydlin, Smoleń, Pilica and Podzamcze on your way.
