Tips from the Community
Something extraordinary, this basilica—an extraordinary, impressive temple. Monumental stone steps, a facade over 50 meters high, in the Renaissance style. Overall, this church looks like a palace. Not to mention what's inside—paintings, sculptures, miraculous figurines, and who knows what other wonders. I'll be honest: such majesty impresses me even more than the wave-shaped building in Gdańsk Oliwa, where I once lived!

The Adršpach-Teplice Rocks are one of the most interesting sites in the entire Sudetes and the largest rock formation in the Czech Republic. They are formed by two famous rock formations – Adršpach and Teplice – which differ in character, but together create a unique experience of massive sandstone walls, narrow gorges, and soaring peaks. The highest rocks reach up to 100 meters, and many of them have their own names, such as Lovers and Sugarloaf.

Light traffic during off-peak times. Good surface. 390 meters of elevation gain over 7.7 km = 5% average. Thanks to bark beetles, there are views here and there. Picturesque rock formations along the route.

The Basilica of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wambierzyce is an impressive Baroque church from the 18th century, an important place of Marian worship in Lower Silesia. Built in the years 1715–1723, in 1936 it received the title of minor basilica by Pope Pius XI. Situated on a hill, which is reached by 56 stone steps, 33 of which symbolize the years of Jesus' life, it is not only a pilgrimage destination, but also an attractive point on a bicycle route. Road cyclists will appreciate the good quality asphalt access roads and the opportunity to rest in the picturesque surroundings. It is worth remembering about appropriate footwear if you plan to visit the interior of the basilica and climb the stairs.
