The route has the form of a loop, starts and finishes in Domaszków, near the Zacisze Bar, where you can eat delicious homemade food giving you healthy energy before and after the trip! This place is a must for all cyclists in this area.

Route: Domaszków - Dębno - Krzydlina Mała - Lubiąż - Gliniany - Domaszków

The route leads along asphalt public roads, forests, fields and partly along a cycle path along the route of the former railway line, in the section from Mojęcice to Lubiąż. The entire route guarantees beautiful views at any time of the year and a true Odra climate.

Domaszków | a beekeeping educational trail in the Zuzia Apiary established in 2006 Zuzia Apiary. You can purchase honey (Domaszków 27, tel. +48 697 074 797),

Domaszków | Zacisze Bar (a favourite stop for cyclists - tel. +48 889 416 914), one of the few catering facilities along the route.

Krzydlina Mała | the Carmelite Fathers' Dialogue Centre (accommodation, training room).

Cistercian Abbey in Lubiąż | one of the largest monuments of this class in Europe, which is also the largest Cistercian abbey in the world. The abbey has been called a masterpiece of Silesian Baroque. The monastic complex is the second largest in the world (the first being the palace and monastery complex of Escurial in Spain). The roof area covers about 2.5 hectares and the length of the façade is 223 metres, making it the longest Baroque façade in Europe. The building has more than 600 windows. In the 1980s, the monastery became the site of a search for huge treasures. The special services of the People's Republic of Poland tried three times to find the famous gold of Wrocław here, i.e. the deposits of the safes of Festung Breslau. Hence, many legends arose around the monastery.

Reserve Odrzyska | created in 1987 on an area of approximately 5 hectares. It encompasses the oxbow lakes of the Oder River, protects rich stands of anchovy - the water nut - and the floating water fern salvinia. There are about 40 species of breeding birds in the reserve.

Gliniany | the village is known for archaeological excavations; in 1970 a cemetery of the Lusatian culture from the Bronze Age (1100-700 B.C.) was discovered here; the graves were equipped with pottery and metal products. The so-called Idol of Clay was found - a clay male figure with a large head, associated with solar and phallic worship.
