Bicycle routes

The route starts at the recreational reservoir in Milicz (Kolejowa Street). It is a convenient place for a pick-up; you can also get there by car, which we will leave safely in a monitored and secure car park; it is also close from the railway station.

The proposal for the tour was created as part of cooperation between Cycling Friendly Places during the Cooperation Exchange organised by the Lower Silesian Cycling Land thanks to a grant received from the Ministry of Sport and Tourism.
