The best road cycling routes around Bojszowy

Monumental, late Baroque church of St. Clement from the years 1769–1772, rising to the top of Klimont Hill (302–305 m a.s.l.). It is the most famous symbol of Lędziny, visible even in the city's coat of arms. The temple stands on the site of former wooden churches (the oldest from the 12th century), and the hill itself was a pre-Christian place of Slavic worship (the so-called Górka Piorunowa). The approach to the church leads along a characteristic, paved avenue (Czesława Miłosza Street). From the top, there is a phenomenal, open panorama – with good visibility, you can admire the beautiful line of the Beskids from here. A must-see point of every trip around the Bieruń-Lędziny district!

Bridge over the river Sola for pedestrians and cyclists, narrow passage between the boundary pillars at the beginning and end of the bridge.

Finally, the pedestrian-cycle section with cobblestones has been handed over (but wouldn't smooth red ones have been better?)

The Castle in Oświęcim is a medieval defensive stronghold located on a hill on the right bank of the Soła River. Currently, the site is home to the Museum of the Castle in Oświęcim, which presents the rich history of the city, the former Duchy of Oświęcim, and valuable historical and archaeological collections. It was here that a great diplomatic turning point occurred: in 1454, the last Piast duke of this region, Jan IV, bowed to the might of Poland and ceded the castle and his entire duchy as a fief to King Casimir Jagiellon. Three years later (in 1457), he completely sold these lands to him. The castle ceased to be a Silesian borderland and became Polish royal property for centuries. It is worth taking a look at the mighty, 13th-century Gothic tower, which remembers those events and that agreement! The history of the castle in Oświęcim dates back to the 11th century, when there was an early medieval agricultural settlement on the hill above the Soła. After it burned down, a fortified castellany stronghold was erected here. The first official documentary mention of it dates from 1179. It was then that King Casimir the Just transferred these lands to the Duke of Opole, Mieszko Plątonogi. Early Gothic tower – dates from the end of the 13th century, it is a defensive building type (bergfried) and is one of the oldest preserved brick structures in Lesser Poland. Royal history – the castle hosted prominent historical figures, including the future Queen of Poland, Bona Sforza. Underground tunnels – there are two corridors under the castle, including an air-raid shelter built by the Germans during World War II. Address: ul. Zamkowa 1, 32-600 Oświęcim Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (the museum is closed on Mondays).

The Street Art Gallery in the underground passage (officially known as the „Art in the Underground” project) is an extremely spectacular point on the map of Tychy, located in a pedestrian-cycle tunnel under the DK1 route (Beskidzka Street) at the height of the Paprocany district. It is a must-stop (POI) to add to the Komoot app, which allows you to combine cultural immersion with a smooth bike ride.

Park Północny has a completely different atmosphere than St. Francis Park. It is much wilder, more naturalistic, and wooded. Its greatest attraction are three large fishponds (northern, central, and southern), which are a paradise for local waterfowl, amphibians, and unique vegetation (the protected water chestnut grows here, among other plants). The park's absolute highlight is a charming island on one of the ponds, accessed by a modern wooden footbridge (pier) and a Roman pavement. It's an ideal spot, isolated from the hustle and bustle, for a short rest on the route. In the area of Elfów and Edukacji streets, you will also find characteristic red architectural frames serving as original benches that frame the views of the greenery.

The revitalized, historic heart of the city, officially known as Farski Square. It is the ideal place for a short rest during a bike or walking tour. The square's name comes from the former parish church (rectory), around which this charming market square was created. It is worth stopping here by the fountain, seeing the characteristic Bell Tower Gate, and the historic building of the current library. Around the square, you will find benches, shade from trees, and local shops where you can easily replenish your supplies for the rest of your route.

New road and pedestrian-cycle viaduct over the newly built section of the S1 expressway at the junction of Bijasowicka and Peryferyjna streets. Passable, but still undergoing finishing works.
