The best road cycling routes in Nowosielski Las

Today we visited the tower and explored the accessible rooms. The ground floor doors were closed, while the upstairs room with a nature photography exhibition was open, and of course, the viewing gallery on the second floor. For now, the view toward the expansive Carpathian panorama is unobstructed, but that will change. Right across the asphalt road between the tower and the panorama, in an area slightly higher than the base of the observation tower, someone has planted spruce trees along the road. 😮 The observation deck on the tower is 9 meters high. I was looking for information on how long it will take for the spruce trees to reach this height and block the view. The AI review provided the following answer: "A spruce tree needs about 15 to 30 years to reach 9 meters in height, as it grows on average 30 to 60 cm per year, with the fastest growth occurring between the 5th and 15th year of the tree's life. The exact time depends on the spruce species, soil conditions, sunlight, and care." WW

The Sanctuary of St. Andrew Bobola in Strachocina is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Poland, associated with the cult of this exceptional saint. Located in the picturesque village of Strachocina, it attracts both the faithful and tourists interested in history and spirituality. This place is of immense religious significance, with a history dating back to the 17th century, when St. Andrew Bobola was recognized as a martyr and patron saint of Poland.

The cult of St. Andrew Bobola in Strachocina began on May 16, 1988, when the Saint's relics were solemnly brought into the church and placed in a new altar dedicated to St. Andrew. (...) St. Andrew Bobola appeared in the Jesuit College in Pinsk 45 years after his martyrdom and said: I am your brother Andrew Bobola. And then he pointed to his coffin, which he ordered to be found in the basement and separated from the others. As it turned out, it contained a body preserved from decomposition. In Strachocina, an unknown figure of a priest appeared to parish priests in the 20th century in a similar way. Only after four years did Father Józef Niźnik dare to ask her the question: who are you? and what do you want? - and he heard the answer: I am Saint Andrew Bobola. Start worshipping me in Strachocina. First, he went to the Ordinary with the news he had heard, and then to the Jesuits in Warsaw to verify the "mysterious revelation". When it turned out that St. Andrew was so original in initiating the cult, further preparatory work to start the cult proceeded calmly. The figure that appeared stopped coming. (...)

The Church of the Holy Cross and the Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of Poland in Rozpucie is a wooden temple from 1900, built on the initiative of Father Adam Orłowski and the Leokadia Żuk-Skarszewska foundation. Built in a log construction, on the plan of a Latin cross, with a pillar tower and a three-sided closed presbytery, it is an example of traditional sacral architecture of the region. Located in the quiet village of Rozpucie, in the Tyrawa Wołoska commune, the church is easily accessible by asphalt roads, which makes it an attractive destination for road cyclists.

5 km ascent to Przełęcz Przysłup (620 m) from Tyrawa Wołoska. The elevation gain is 280 m, and the average gradient is 5.9%, sometimes reaching 12%, which makes this ascent the fourth most difficult in the Podkarpackie region. Smooth and good quality asphalt.

great, I recommend it to every cyclist!
