Average forest road, bumpy and sometimes sandy, nothing really special here.

A wonderful place. Here you can admire ancient buildings from Kashubia, Kociewie, and the Tuchola Forest. There are wooden cottages, windmills, an inn, churches, and entire old farmsteads. Travel back in time to see what people did when there was no internet! A truly interesting place, such living, fascinating history. You can peek into each building and see what it was like. Don't forget to buy tickets! http://www.muzeum-wdzydze.gda.pl/

A beautiful forest path in Wdzydze Landscape Park. Wdzydze Landscape Park is the heart of Kashubia, known primarily for the vast Lake Wdzydze, known as the "Kashubian Sea." Surrounding it are pine forests, peat bogs, and smaller lakes, creating an incredibly picturesque landscape. It's an ideal place for cycling – paths lead through forests and over water, and numerous viewpoints offer panoramic views of islands and bays. The park protects rare ecosystems, and encountering a crane or white-tailed eagle is not uncommon. This region combines natural beauty with tranquility, making it ideal for both longer hikes and short, recreational rides.

Apparently, it's no longer a drawbridge. It was probably renovated.

The roads and paths that make up the Kashubian Route are mostly of good or very good quality, but exploring the charms of the Tuchola Forest often requires tackling challenging sections rife with sandy climbs, numerous roots, and fallen trees. Unexpected climbs also require good fitness, leg strength, and proper riding technique. Therefore, they are not always suitable for families with small children.
