Beware of slippery reinforced concrete slabs!!!

Fenced area on the Osława River below the Zagórz - Krościenko railway bridge. You can even grill using the prepared wood. You just have to bring sausages and other products, because there are no shops nearby. WW

Today I drove over this bridge and was pleased to see that the planked surface had been improved. There are no longer any gaps lurking for a cyclist's wheel. Incidentally, I discovered that this bridge offers an interesting view of the trains passing by, and under the railway bridge you can see a wooden bridge on the bike path. There are three bridges in the vicinity - on a local road, on the Sanok - Zagórz railway line and on the Velo San bike path. WW

You can't miss it. It's a beautiful piece of history.

An additional hazard is the hole in the middle of the bridge near the barrier on the San side. It is easy to fall into this hole with your whole foot!

The official name of the open-air museum is the Museum of Folk Architecture in Sanok (MBL). It covers a vast area on the right bank of the San River, limited from the north by a high escarpment, on which the Biała Góra housing estate is located, and from the east by the forested area of the Słonne Mountains. A great attraction is the Galician Market Square, where various occasional events are organized, e.g. before the holidays. The open-air museum lives according to its own calendar and is eagerly visited not only by tourists but also by the residents of Sanok. On the open-air museum area, divided into geographical and cultural sectors, you can visit many wooden buildings and see their equipment. The resourcefulness of the residents of that time, who were able to live and support their families in very modest conditions, without electricity, running water, gas and so many devices that we cannot imagine life without today, is admirable. The oil sector is a separate attraction. To get a better understanding of the range of objects gathered here, it is best to use the services of a guide. WW

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.

Little traffic on the route, good quality asphalt for a road bike.
