Bike Marathon Duszniki-Zdrój 2026

Get ready for one of the most demanding, raw, and at the same time beautiful stages of the entire series! Bike Marathon Duszniki-Zdrój is a race that has permanently earned its place on the calendar as a true test of mountain form. The arena of struggle here is unique – the course escapes from the charming spa town straight into the wild, steep, and incredibly atmospheric regions of the Bystrzyckie Mountains and the Orlickie Mountains.

And after the effort? Time to recover!

Spa Park in Duszniki-Zdrój: The perfect spot for post-race chillout. A walk along the avenues among centuries-old trees, a visit to Chopin Manor, and a glance at the colorful fountain will let your muscles slowly come out of their post-start shock 🌳⛲.

Mineral Water Pump Room: After such a tough race, your body needs immediate remineralization. Head to the spa pump room and try local лечебnic waters such as "Pieniawa Chopina" or "Jan Kazimierz" – a natural Sudetes isotonic drink! 🥛

Paper Making Museum: An absolute architectural and historical gem on a national scale (housed in a 17th-century paper mill). If you still have the strength for a short walk, seeing how paper used to be made is a great plan for a cultural afternoon 📜.

"Pod Muflonem" Mountain Hut and Jagodna: If you rode the Mega or Giga distance, the Bystrzyckie Mountains probably gave you a hard time. After the event, though, it’s worth coming back to these areas as a tourist – the view from the terrace of the Pod Muflonem hut over the panorama of Duszniki is simply stunning, and the famous blueberry fritters at the Jagodna Mountain Hut (a bit farther in the Bystrzyckie Mountains) are legendary carbohydrate loading 🥞🍇.

Sudetes Feast: After burning thousands of calories in the mountains, you’ve earned a proper meal. Local Sudetes trout (fried or baked with herbs) with crispy fries and a set of salads tastes in the local inns like the finest gourmet dish 🐟🍟.

Bike Marathon Duszniki-Zdrój is the essence of Sudetes MTB. It’s a race that demands humility toward the mountains, but at the finish it gives everything back with interest in the form of incredible satisfaction and pride from conquering one of the toughest routes in Poland … ✨ Take on the challenge in the heart of Duszniki! 🏁🏔️
