Green Velo

The trip starts in Brzozów – a charming town located on the Dynów Foothills. Magnificent historic sites, beautiful landscapes, the clean air and recreation areas attract an increasing number of tourists from Poland. Bikers can experience an unforgettable adventure of discovering the corners of the Dynów Foothills. The trip starts on the parking area of the Municipal Sport and Leisure Centre (MOSiR) in Brzozów – a charming town located on the Dynów Foothills. We recommend seeing its market square with a town hall, the collegiate church of the Transfiguration, and the unique building of the railway station, where railway tracks have never been added. Another place on the trail is Stara Wieś – a village neighbouring Brzozów. It is easy to notice the distant outline of the local basilica – the late Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary with imposing and richly decorated interiors. Next to it, there is Jesuit Fathers’ College. The trail runs beside monastery buildings; around 100 m farther, it turns left towards Orzechówka. Then it leads through the picturesque Stobnica valley to Blizne through the bridge and the nearby small crossroads. In Blizne, there is the wooden Church of All Saints inscribed on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Situated on a small elevation and surrounded by old trees, the temple was designed in Gothic style. Inside the temple, unique polychromes made in the 16^th-18^th century have survived. Another place on the trail is Jasienica Rosielna – a village located 4 km away from Blizne. The trail leading west intersects the national road no. 19, thus crossing the border of the Czarnorzeki-Strzyżów Landscape Park. The trail runs farther through Wola Jasienicka, Wola Komborska, and Orzechówka back to Brzozów.
