A very interesting bicycle route, partly created along the route of the former railway line. May more such projects be implemented in Poland.

Highlight • Cycleway

The whole route is very nice and quite well marked, unfortunately only on the Polish side. It is much worse in the Czech Republic and it is marked on the existing roads, not specially designed for bicycles.

Żelazny Szlak Rowerowy – Rest Area at Powstańców Śląskich

Highlight • Rest Area

Żelazny has already formed an opinion. A sensationally prepared and routed road on the Polish side makes it a must-see for a bicycle tourist.
Personally, I suggest at least two …

It took a long time to fix it, and now I'm catching up.
