A loop around Przywidzkie lake
A loop around Przywidzkie lake
A loop leading along a dirt forest track along the shoreline of Przywidzkie Lake. Almost the entire length of the route is hidden under the crowns of deciduous trees, so riding it on a hot summer day is pure pleasure. Along its route we pass several beach places, including one (in Przywidz) which is a guarded swimming area. This is where we start the trip. The trail becomes even more charming in autumn, when the leaves of the trees surrounding it become colorful. Due to the terrain and road quality, the route is recommended for bicycle trips for children who can ride bikes efficiently. You can ride a bike with a seat or a trailer along its entire length without any problems. However, when driving with a trailer, you need to be aware of the additional load on driveways.

The biggest attractions of the route are beautiful views of the Baltic Sea and communion with the rich nature of the Vistula Spit Landscape Park. The length of individual trips can be determined individually, depending on the children’s abilities. I return to the starting point by the same route.
