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.

    Niechobrz Górny is the place from where you will set off on your journey. We suggest starting from the vicinity of the Millennium Cross. 

    It stands on one of the highest hills in the area. It was built to celebrate the Jubilee of Christianity in 2000. It is a place from which you can admire vast views. You can see Rzeszów, among other places. 

    If you came here by car, you can leave your vehicle in the car park next to the Millennium Cross. There is also a large shelter in its vicinity.

    From here, head south. You will reach the local road, Niechobrz - Czudec. After 150 m, turn right. Follow the signs of the blue cycle trail.

The object of worship in this place is a painting of the Mother of God in the Hodegetria type, probably dating back to the 15th or 16th century, painted on a board. It was placed on the main altar of the Baroque Church of the Holy Trinity in Czudec, which was built using materials from the demolished castle in the village of Przedmieście Czudeckie. The church was elevated to the status of a shrine in 2002, on the day of the coronation of the miraculous image.
