Bike tour Wrocław and Lower Silesian cycling country guided

Wrocław, the capital of Lower Silesia, is one of the most beautiful and oldest cities in Poland. This unique city on the Oder River is situated on 12 islands connected by an impressive 112 bridges.

From Wrocław, we cycle into the Barycz Valley, one of the most picturesque and scenically valuable regions in Poland. The valley is famous for the Milickie Ponds – a complex of ponds covering an area of ​​over 6,000 hectares. They were created by the Cistercians in the Middle Ages. Carp dominate the ponds.

Besides the bike adventure what else awaits us during a week-long bike tour! Nature lovers have the opportunity to observe various bird species in the reed beds, fields, meadows, and heathlands. This area is also home to many cranes, geese, and deer. The nature here is unique and fascinating.

This area is a paradise for cyclists and nature lovers. It boasts a very extensive network of cycling paths. While cycling in the Barycz Valley, we experience the character of peaceful villages with red brick houses from the last century, nestled amidst a water landscape full of ponds.
