Wiezyca: Cycling Route and Summit Trail

Cycling the Szlakiem Hutniczym

The “Szlakiem Hutniczym” cycling route is about 28 kilometres long and starts at Wieżyca railway station. It runs through the wider surrounding area; if the route changes, its length may change too. The approximate distance provides an initial guide for planning your outing, while the surface is another specific factor to consider.

Narrow asphalt sections alternate with numerous gravel and dirt roads. The route surface adds a feature to the distance figure that you can take into account when choosing a cycling outing. At all major intersections, the cycling route is marked with information boards including a map and signs featuring a bicycle symbol, a green stripe and the words “Szlak hutniczy”. Use of a GPX track is also recommended. Check the markings on site before relying on them for navigation.

The black Wzgórz Szymbarskich Trail

The black Wzgórz Szymbarskich Trail is listed as 21.3 kilometres long. From Borcz, the route passes through Trątkownica, Wyczechowo, Nowy Dwór, Sławki and Rąty to Wieżyca, then continues to Szymbark. The sequence of places gives a clear sense of the route through the region and positions Wieżyca as one point along it. As the route may change, check its current course before setting out.

On the climb to the summit of Wieżyca, an asphalt section is followed first by a dirt road towards Rybaki. Then a narrow forest path climbs over the deep ravine of a stream to the summit. This sequence of asphalt, dirt road and narrow forest path gives this described section of the route its own character.

Factor the routes into your trip planning

The kilometre figures refer to different routes, so their other features also matter when making your choice. For the cycling route, these include the changing surface and the markings; for the black trail, they include the course through several places and the described climb to the summit. When choosing a holiday apartment, these different points of focus can help structure your trip planning. First decide which route particularly interests you, then check the location of the specific accommodation in relation to the section you want to use. The cycling route is about seven kilometres longer than the black trail. As both routes may change, this difference is a rough guide.
