About this route
Typowo widokowa trasa, która prowadzi przez pogórze na południe od Rzeszowa. Znajdują się tu liczne wzgórza i lasy, punkty widokowe i kapliczki. Będzie tu wiele miejsc do odpoczynku na łonie przyrody, zarówno zagospodarowanych, jak i przygodnych, na powalonych drzewach czy kamieniach polnych. Droga jest w większości asfaltowa, lecz są to boczne drogi wąskie i mało uczęszczane. Warto co jakiś czas odbijać z głównej trasy na lewo i prawo, by zobaczyć miejsca objawień, krzyże i cmentarze.
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.
