Warnowo Zachodnie Lake. A nice little lake, perfect for a picnic or to rest before the next climb.

Very few bike paths, too often on country roads without bike paths. Roadsides are unpaved or have dangerous tarmac edges. This makes the circular route problematic. As far as the bike path in the forest goes, the ride was pleasant.

The bison display enclosure in the Wolin National Park is one of the most interesting places on the island of Wolin, especially for nature lovers. You can see bison up close, but also other animals such as wild boars, deer and white-tailed eagles. The enclosure is located in the forest, approx. 1.5 km from the main road between Międzyzdroje and Warnów - a convenient forest path leads to it, which you can easily ride a bike. It is best to visit this place during feeding hours, when the animals are most active. There is an admission fee. Opening hours, ticket prices can be checked at https://wopn.gov.pl/wstep-do-zagrody-pokazowej-zubrow (also in English; you can buy a ticket online).

The parking and picnic area at Kwasowo is ideal for an active start to the day. Here you can park your car safely and head straight onto one of the many hiking or trail routes. The forest path offers a great mix of steep climbs and relaxed sections - perfect for runners who like a bit of variety. The terrain is mountainous but beautiful, and the clear air makes the route particularly refreshing. After the run, the picnic area offers a great place to rest and enjoy the surroundings. For me, it is the ideal starting point to immerse yourself deeply in nature and explore the terrain.
