Dłubnia Valley Cycle Trail
Types of trails: Cycle
Length of trail: 47,2
Beginning of the trail: Kraków
End of the trail: Trzyciąż
Total length of the trail: 47.2 km
Difficulty: medium
The trail runs almost entirely through the valley of the Dłubnia River, which guarantees a fairly flat route. Recommended for trekking/gravel bikes, as there are several gravel and dirt sections along the route. Note! In periods of thaw/major rainfall, the route can get very muddy on its unpaved sections. However, this results from the fact that the route takes you well away from major car traffic and enables you to discover the picturesque and mysterious corners of the Dłubnia Landscape Park. In the vicinity of Imbramowice, there are places where you can feel like you are in the abandoned villages of Low Beskids. We recommend that you check it out as soon as possible, because the trail may soon change due to the construction of the Kraków northern bypass. In Kraków the trail meets the planned EuroVelo11 route, while in Trzyciąż, we recommend returning to Kraków via local asphalt roads through Sułoszowa (with the famous Hangman’s Tree) and the Prądnik Valley, which will one day be used for the future VeloPrądnik route. The trail is quite well marked along its entire length (blue signs), but we recommend using the gpx file, because at several crucial turns there are no signs. Rest stops can be found in Młodziejowice, Iwanowice and Trzyciąż
