Our cycling adventure begins in picturesque Dobrzyń nad Wisłą, situated on a slope overlooking the majestic Vistula River. From the very start, the route captivates with its beautiful landscape. Heading north, we ride on asphalt roads of varying quality, but with little traffic, making for a quiet and safe ride. Along the way, we pass charming villages where we can admire small, often ancient churches dating back to different eras. In the village of Boguchwała, we encounter the first, approximately 500-meter stretch of unpaved road. However, this is only a short break from the asphalt, which will reappear later in the route. Reaching Skępe, it's worth stopping at Lake Święte, surrounded by forest, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Skępe, a destination for numerous pilgrimages, is also worth visiting. On the return journey, before reaching Lake Piaseczno, we encounter the most demanding, forested section of the route. This section is a challenge, but the beauty of the surrounding nature will certainly reward you. The rest of the route follows paved roads, where you'll once again be able to admire historic churches and enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding countryside.
