It is one of the easiest cycling routes running around the Chrzanów land, a perfect option to start the exploration of this area (the full list of routes can be found at przewodnik.powiat-chrzanowski.pl/szlaki-rowerowe/). The blue trail is not only a good link to reach Trzebinia and the Eagles’ Nests Trail or the Loop Around Trzebinia, but also a great option for family excursions in the flattest part of the Dulowa Forest. The route mostly runs along asphalt and gravel forest roads free from motor vehicle traffic. Along the way, you’ll encounter numerous rest stops in the form of benches and tables, and at the Chechło reservoir you can enjoy the recently rearranged beach and the recreation complex (playgrounds, toilets, pier). Car parking facilities are available at both ends of the trail; it is also possible to get here by train from Kraków (leaving at the Krzeszowice or Trzebinia stations). We also recommend to cycle (by the steep climb along the black trail) or to walk up to the Tenczyn Castle. The trail is suitable for any type of bike except road bikes. In the future, it will also be a section of the VeloRudawa route, which is currently at the design stage.
