About this route
The northwestern surroundings of Brzozów allow you to explore not only the wild expanses of forests, village life, or architecture, but also history and technology. Numerous monuments on this short route are unique at least at the regional level, and the Museum of Vintage Cars in Jasienica Rosielna is an extremely interesting institution. The route is of medium difficulty, because although it is not long, it poses a challenge in the form of fairly steep climbs.
Practical advices
A route with a moderate level of difficulty will allow you to test your fitness. Remember that the terrain has a huge impact on how many kilometres you can cover. Trails on flat roads are less strenuous than those on hills or mountain roads.
Planning a group trip? Match the route to the fitness of the weakest participant.
A helmet and light clothing made of breathable materials will be essential for safety and comfort on the route. Other than that, only put on the essentials. Heavy luggage will make your ride more difficult. Also, think about what you will carry the necessary items in. We suggest a backpack or panniers for your bike.
Be prepared for possible breakdowns on the route. It is a good idea to carry the most important tools for a quick fix, such as inner tubes or patches, a pump or a multi-tool. Make sure you have enough water and food, as well as navigation equipment.
Is it looking like a warm and sunny day? Remember sunscreen and sunglasses. If you are planning sightseeing or other activities along the route, a bike lock will also be very useful. Before you leave, carefully examine your route for the trip. Consider whether your skills and equipment are adequate for the level of difficulty of the route.

Unusually, let us start the bike trip with a visit to the automotive museum. There are several dozen vehicle models there, from the earliest, roofless machines that look more like horseless carriages, to beautiful, sleek supercars. Not only the cars themselves are presented here, but also the people who created and drove them. When you finish the tour, set off from the museum gate to the right, along the Rosielna river. You will cross national road no. 19 and continue on the same route you took earlier. After 2.5 kilometres, you will pass a church and a community centre. Turn left, following the signpost to Wola Komborska. In this village, you will come across a school and a quarry. Nearby are natural attractions - the Natural Monument Konfederatka, Maczuga Rock, and the valley of two ponds. At the end of the road, turn right along national road no. 19 to leave this busy route after 700 metres, on Słoneczna Street. Along your route, there is a marked mineral water spring where you can stop for a break. Continuing on, you will turn sharply left in the forest and come out in the village of Kombornia. When you descend to the road in the valley, choose the right side, towards Jabłonica Polska. After a moment, you will again cross national road no. 19. Stick to the main route, passing a school and a volunteer fire brigade station, at the fork near the church, choose the left side. From Jabłonica Polska, you will ride to Malinówka. Past the village, near the cemetery, go straight. After a few minutes, you will reach Zmiennica. In the village, it is worth seeing the Neo-Gothic granary, currently deserted and partly in ruins. However, the distinctive features of this architectural style are still visible, most often associated with churches or town halls, and less frequently with manor houses or palaces. At the intersection near this monument, turn left, following the right of way. You will enter the forest on a hill; the climb may not impress you much, but you will probably feel it in your legs. Near the youth care home, you will find a monument and a Jewish cemetery where Jews from Brzozów who were murdered by the Germans during World War II are buried.

Via Zdrojowa Street, then Moniuszki Street and Mickiewicza Street, you will reach the centre of the town. Take a rest at the market square in Brzozów. The urban layout of this small Galician town has been well preserved - the arrangement of the market square and its surroundings is almost 600 years old, as it was designated during its founding at the end of the 14th century. The square is not flat, it slopes towards the north. Most of the townhouses were built in the 19th century and are maintained in Art Nouveau or Neoclassical styles. The town hall, now the museum's seat, is also Neoclassical, with a four-storey clock tower and forced asymmetry of the main steps. Exit the square by descending Mickiewicza Street to reach the beautiful Neoclassical white townhouse at the intersection with Kościuszki Street. Turn onto the latter. Riding through Stara Wieś, you will come across an intersection with a wooden cross. Turning right will take you to the Baroque basilica and turning left - will continue along the route. Through low hills covered with forests and fields, you will reach the village of Gołaszówka. Cross it on the main road to enter Orzechówka. Turn right at the school complex. You will pass a fire station and a sports field, and after 2.5 kilometres, you will see a signpost for the Museum of Vintage Cars.
