MarkingThe Bieliny Small Loop is a 15-kilometer-long bike trail marked out in the central part of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. It has the shape of a loop with a length of about 11 km, running along the roads near the village of Bieliny at the foothills of the Łysogóry range, and 4.5 km of the access road from the village of Lechów, running on a very muddy, dirt road across the hill of Duża Skała from the village of Lechów. The loop section is a rather easy route, whereas the access road and return is a heavy section requiring MTB riding.
The general route of the trail is as follows: Lechów (0.0 km) - Czaplów, start of loop (4.5 km) - Huta Nowa (6.8 km) - Podłysica (8.5 km) - Bieliny Poduchowne (10.4 km) - Bieliny, centre (11.5 km) km) - Czaplów (12.6 km) - end of loop (14.2 km) - return to Lechów (18.7 km). The total distance covered by the cyclist is nearly 19 kilometres, as the first section must be covered twice.
The trail starts in the village of Lechów lying between the Łysogóry Range and the Cisowsko-Orłowiński Range, from where the route runs to the northwest. It runs along the foothills of Mount Duża Skała, and then on a muddy, dirt road through the forest covering its western slopes. Then it leads to the pass near the village of Czaplów, at the foothills of Mount Chełmo.
The asphalt section of the trail starts from this place. It runs north, crossing the provincial road and from the village of Huta Nowa leading towards the Łysogóry range. The trail climbs 70 meters to the village of Podłysica, as its name suggests lying at the foothill of Mount Łysica. Then it runs 100 meters down towards the village of Bieliny. You can see here a Baroque church, and the town is a local administrative and economic centre. From Bieliny, through Czaplów, the trail returns to the pass from which you can return back to Lechów.
