ソリンスキエ湖のおすすめライド

Wyżna Pass, located at an altitude of 872 m above sea level in the Western Bieszczady Mountains, is one of the most recognizable places in the region. The pass offers a magnificent panorama of Połonina Wetlińska, Połonina Caryńska and Tarnica, the highest peak of the Western Bieszczady Mountains. For road cyclists, it is an attractive point on the Great Bieszczady Loop route, offering well-maintained asphalt roads. There is a large parking lot, a bus stop and an inn on site, making it a convenient place to rest. It is also worth paying attention to the monument dedicated to Jerzy Harasymowicz, a poet associated with the Bieszczady Mountains.

The viewpoint in Lutowiska is one of the most picturesque places in the Bieszczady Mountains, offering panoramic views of the highest peaks in the region, such as Tarnica, Halicz and Szeroki Wierch. Located on the Wielka Pętla Bieszczadzki, this point is easily accessible for road cyclists, thanks to good quality asphalt roads. There is free parking, benches and information boards describing the visible mountain ranges. In the summer season, there is also a booth with local delicacies, which makes it an ideal place for a short break during a bike trip.

The ascent to Przełęcz Wyżna from Wetlina is longer than from Brzegi Górne and has fewer sides. Over a distance of 5.4 km we overcome 210 m of elevation with an average gradient of 4%. The asphalt is of good quality. On the pass there is a restaurant Zajazd u Górala.

Wyżna Pass can be reached from Brzegi Górne or Wetlina. Coming from Brzegi, we cover 2.4 km and 130 m of elevation and 5.6% average gradient. The climb gradually becomes steeper and flattens out just before the pass. The quality of the surface is satisfactory.

Góra Sobień Reserve is a small but picturesque nature reserve located in the Bieszczady Mountains, known for the ruins of a medieval castle and a viewpoint over the San valley. The route leading to the top is short, but steep and rocky, so it is best to leave your road bike at the foot of the mountain. From the viewing platform you can admire a wide panorama of the surrounding hills and the river. It is a good place for a short stop and a walk with an element of history. Entry to the reserve is free.
