Looking for a dynamic cycling race with a unique atmosphere? Silesia Bike in Czerwionka-Leszczyny (often hosted as part of well-known Silesian MTB marathon series) is the perfect choice for every two-wheels enthusiast.
The route spectacularly blends the region’s industrial character with amazing green areas. Riders can choose from varied distances that lead through picturesque forest tracks, winding singletracks, and the area known as “Pojezierze Palowickie” (often called the Silesian Masuria). The course is fast and relatively flat, but dynamic direction changes and natural obstacles guarantee tons of fun. You can get to Czerwionka-Leszczyny in no time by car (thanks to the nearby A1 motorway), including from Katowice, Gliwice, or Rybnik.
After crossing the finish line and catching your breath, it’s worth parking the bike and, together with your loved ones, discovering unique local attractions that perfectly combine history with nature:
Historic Familok housing estate: An architectural gem of Czerwionka. This unique, beautifully revitalized late-19th/early-20th-century company housing estate delights with its red brick, green squares, and the distinctive vibe of old Silesia.
A walk around Pojezierze Palowickie: If you’re in the mood for calmer relaxation after the cycling effort, this area will charm you with scenic hills, wooden footbridges, and the soothing quiet of the Golejowskie Lakes.
Historic church in Palowice: History lovers will be eager to visit the charming wooden Church of the Holy Trinity from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, which fits perfectly into the local forest landscape.
Real Silesian grub for recovery: After putting in some serious kilometres, it’s time for a traditional reward. Local restaurants will serve you the iconic Silesian set: beef roulade, Silesian dumplings with a hole, and red cabbage—and for fans of quick dishes, a thick, warming żurek sour rye soup.
Check your tyre pressure, feel the rush of wind on forest singles, and clock a great time in Czerwionka-Leszczyny!
