Through Brzozów, Jasienica Rosielna and Blizne

About this route

The route ahead of you is fairly easy. It runs entirely on asphalt roads with minor inclinations. This route is great if you don't enjoy cycling on woodland trails. However, be aware that the route leads along busy roads. For this reason, we do not recommend it for a trip with children. The sanctuary in Stara Wieś and the UNESCO-listed church in Blizne are two the most fascinating locations on the map of this journey, which are waiting to be discovered by you.

Practical advices

Although this route is not demanding, it is worth preparing for it properly, so that nothing surprises you at any point. Start with the most important thing, which is your helmet. A good helmet is essential for your safety. Take care also of proper lighting, both front and rear. In addition to bike lights, equip your bike with reflectors so that you are highly visible on the road.

What else is worth taking with you on a trip? Make sure to pack a sweatshirt or a rail jacket in your backpack, in case the weather changes. It is also a good idea to bring snacks to give you energy during the trip. Protein bars or energy mousses work well.

Stara Wieś
3.5 km
Stara Wieś
In Stara Wieś, on regional road no. 886, there is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Stara Wieś. The building dates back to the 18th century. A chapel of worship for the Mother of God houses the Dormition and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary statue that was brought from Humenné (today’s Slovakia). Nowadays, the main altar has a duplicate of the original, which was destroyed by fire.
After exploring the site, return along the same road, crossing the junction straight ahead. On the route towards Orzechówka, you will face minor ascents and descents.

Jasienica Rosielna
In Jasienica Rosielna you will reach the wooden Church of Of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What distinguishes it from other churches is the fact that it looks almost identical to the day it was built in 1770. Another distinctive characteristic of brick construction is the two-towered western facade. 19th-century polychromes are among the items found inside.
When you reach an intersection, turn right. Here on the right side, you will find a park with a pond and columns, which are the remains of a manor house. After 700 m, turn right and then take the first asphalt road to the left. Follow regional road no. 886 southeast to reach the charming wooden church in Blizne

Blizne
15.7 km
Blizne
Undoubtedly, the major attraction of the trip is the Church of All Saints in Blizne, which was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2003. A late Renaissance pulpit from the early 17th century, a main altar from the 1700s, or a baptismal font from the 18th are among the things which impress with its rich interior. Of course, the church’s stunning exterior, which displays the Gothic design from the 15th century, deserves to be mentioned as well.
Return to the point you came from (approx. 800 m), then turn left. Ahead of you is a straight (approx. 5 km) section leading among the village buildings to the next junction. Here, head straight on. Continue along the familiar road leading to the market square in Brzozów.
