The best MTB trails around gmina Sanok

Królewska Studzienka is located on the border of the Biała Góra settlement and the large forest complex covering the extensive Słonne Mountains. From the Sanok side, the asphalt road leads to the last MKS bus stop, then access via Świerkowa street of deteriorating quality, and after the chapel there is only a narrow, dirt forest road. Recently, access is also possible from the forest side, where Lasy Państwowe built a wide road for their own needs, which the people of Sanok use for recreational purposes. There is a warning sign about bears at the well. WW

Data form for a natural monument. Name Zofia (...)

Recently, asphalt was laid on the last missing section (counting from the observation tower through Dolina to the Sewage Treatment Plant in Zagórz) - I mean the short section from the barbecue area on the San River towards the buildings of the village of Dolina. The section where the bicycle route moves away from the San River and has the character of a local street, without the "pedestrian and bicycle path" signs. When driving after dark, be careful of the deep ditch along this street.

In times long past, the Market Square in Sanok was an oasis of greenery in this part of the city. After the change of regime, the trees were cut down, and the Market Square was paved mostly in red, hence its name, Red Square. On hot days, the center of the square is unbearably hot. You can seek refreshment under the umbrellas where ice cream is sold, or by the fountain located closer to City Hall. Even better, stop by the Franciscan Church for a moment and find not only refreshment but also peace. WW

Pet lovers can meet a black cat with beautiful, shiny fur in the cafe, preferably lounging on the chairs. Be careful with stroking! This animal has its own moods and unexpectedly when petting it, it can bite - I barely had time to withdraw my hand. The cat has a good life: he visits the cafe during the day and spends the nights in the office, where he has his own litter box. WW

The pedestrian and bicycle path on the section from the Valley to the sewage treatment plant in Zagórze is already elegantly asphalted. The width allows cyclists and pedestrians to pass each other freely. The descent from the Valley side has a slope of 12%, and the slope is secured with railings to prevent anyone from slipping towards the river. For those coming from Zagórze, it is recommended to get off the bike and ride uphill. This is the only steep place on this section. In Zagórze, on DK84 and Dolina (at intersections), it would be useful to have graphic markings to make it clear where the path begins, because not everyone uses a map. It is worth avoiding the busy and currently under renovation DK84 road and driving along the San River, seeing beautiful views and listening to birds singing instead of the roar of motor vehicles.
