Jump into the saddle and discover the magic of Podlasie!
Would you like to relax by the water and watch the cranes? Or do you prefer riding through the forest?
Would you like to admire architectural gems and be impressed by landscapes painted with nature's most beautiful colors?
Jump into your saddle and get on the Green Velo Eastern Bike Trail, the longest bicycle route
in Poland that is over 2,000 kilometers long.
Wigry National Park
This is a place of fairy-tale landscapes where, with a bit of luck, you can encounter the park's symbol, the beavers. You are sure to be charmed by the climactic sight of the monastery, one of the region's calling cards. What's more, spending the night within the post-Camaldolese hermitage is also possible!
Augustów and the Biebrza National Park
A visit to Augustów has to include a dip in the lake and a fish feast at one of the local farmsteads or fish bars. A ride along the beautiful boulevards toward the Augustów Canal guarantees breathtaking views, while the Biebrza National Park will welcome you with overhead flocks of migratory birds and the charm of rare plants.
Narew National Park
The Narew River is the "Polish Amazon," which meanders simultaneously through several beds. Trails running along its banks are famous for their observation towers, from which you can admire over 2,000 bird species that live here. Along the way, you can see picturesque mosaics of beautiful small islands, and with a bit of luck, you may see a moose or some other sort of protected animal.
The Land of Open Shutters
Riding along Podlasie's trails will allow you to feel the local atmosphere of its villages and towns, which delight with their wooden architecture. The Land of Open Shutters consists of only three tiny villages: Puchły, Soce, and Trześcianka, places that look like backdrops from a famous Polish film, "Konopielka". Here you can admire intricately constructed houses painted with all the colors of the rainbow and will be engulfed by the one-of-a-kind atmosphere that can not be found anywhere else in Poland.
Białystok
A day cycling through Białystok and its nearest surroundings will allow you to admire all of the city's attractions. You can, for example, see the Kościuszko Market Square with its historic City Hall and Basilica, St. Roch Church, search for the city's famous urban murals and visit the "Polish Versailles" or the Branicki Palace and Park.
