Weekend w Kotlinie Jeleniogórskiej

A one- or two-day (in this case, two-day with overnight stay in Zachełm) cycling trip through the Jelenia Góra Valley. The trip spread over two days will have a recreational character, but the route is quite doable in one day.

Route:

• From the train station in Marciszów, we head onto the adjacent red bike trail (ER6), which takes us all the way to the Bobrów Palace;
• from there, we ride the black trail to Karpniki (Karpnik?);
• there we descend onto the orange trail, which we follow until we find the red bike trail in the woods behind the village of Krogulec;
• the red trail leads us to Mysłakowice, where we switch to black;
• however, we only ride the black trail for a short distance, until we encounter the RED PEDESTRIAN trail;
• following this trail, we reach Sosnówka through Głębock, where we find the green bike trail that will take us to Podgórzyn along the reservoir;
• in Podgórzyn, we immediately turn left onto the black trail leading to Zachełmie (this is also the longest ascent on the entire route);
• the black trail then runs through Zachełmie (this time downhill) to meet the green one at the main road;
• there, we also turn left and, following the green trail, arrive at Pakoszów, where the green trail bends to the left;
• here we abandon the green trail and go straight, until (after crossing the main road to Szklarska Poręba) we encounter the blue trail in the locality/district of Piastów, which we follow, choosing the right path at the fork;
• the blue trail leads us to Stara Kamienica, where we switch to green;
• following the green trail, we reach the Wrzeszczyn power plant, where we turn right following the red signs of the ER6 route (note: if it has rained in the last days, it is better to go straight on the asphalt green trail, and in the village of Cicha turn right to ultimately find the red trail);
• the red trail, along Lake Wrzeszczyński and later Modrego, passing by the 'Perła Zachodu' shelter, will lead us to the center of Jelenia Góra (the PKP train station or other attractions need to be found on your own);
