About this route
The loop, which starts in Rymanów-Zdrój, is attractive and also relatively easy. There is one long uphill stretch on gravel pavement, and the rest of the way is flat and on asphalt. The trip is a good opportunity to visit one of the most popular spa towns in the region.
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.

Your journey begins in the spa town of Rymanów-Zdrój. It is best to begin in the centre of the town. This will make it easier to find a convenient parking spot.
Rymanów-Zdrój has both historical buildings from the early days of the spa (such as the pump room) and modern attractions such as an amphitheatre on the water, mini graduation towers, and a renovated spa park.
You will ride the entire route on the Rymanów Forestry Office's black cycle trail. It follows a cycle path at first, then local streets along the Tabor river in the direction of Rymanów. Before the town centre, the trail turns right and heads east. We recommend going straight ahead to see the local market square and baroque church first.
