Fresh, even asphalt and a series of 6-10% uphill sections. An ideal section of about 10 km for road training. Moderate movement.

The wooden church in Baligród already existed in 1761. The current brick church was built in 1829 from the foundation of Onufry Karsznicki, the owner of Baligród. In 1928 it was rebuilt and renovated. At that time a wooden dome was built in place of a small turret for a bell tower. The church is surrounded by a stone cemetery wall, preserved on the north side. A screen bell tower with three arcades adjoins the wall from the north. The church has been closed since 1947. Until the early 1980s, it was used as a warehouse. In 1985, by decision of the Provincial Conservator of Monuments in Krosno, the church together with the entire complex: the temple, the belfry, the trees and the church wall: were entered into the Register of Monuments /registration number A-51/. In 2005, the Mayor of the Baligród Commune transferred the church, which was in a state of construction disaster, to the Association for Saving the Church in Baligród. Since 2007, as funds and donations are raised, renovation and construction works have been carried out. source: information board at the church

Beautiful view of Solina. The lookout point is the official site and local tourist attraction. You can easily get there by even a road bike.
