Very nice view of Lake Śniardwy, and at its "foot" a small beach, all in the shade of a pine forest. A nice place for a short break.

A bike path where kilometers disappear in the blink of an eye, and all you can hope for is that the next bend won't be the end. This is how it should be! Difficulty 1/10. Enjoyment 8/10.
