This time we’re putting the mountain bikes aside and jumping on the “roadies”! Silesia Bike Road Race in Psary is a treat for lovers of smooth asphalt, a fast pace, and riding in the peloton. The Psary municipality isn’t called the cycling heart of the Zagłębie for nothing. The local terrain offers what road cyclists like most – top-quality surfaces and picturesque, dynamic climbs that can really make you work (led by the iconic Góra Siewierska). You’ll get to Psary in no time by car (close to national road DK86 and the A1 motorway) from Katowice, Sosnowiec, Będzin, or Częstochowa 🚗.
After you cross the finish line and your heart rate settles, it’s worth tossing the bike in the trunk and discovering the charming corners of the Psary municipality and the nearby areas of the Dąbrowa Basin:
Viewing tower on Góra Siewierska: A must-do! It’s the highest hill in the area, and on a clear day you can admire not only the entire Silesian–Zagłębie conurbation from the viewing platform, but even the outlines of the Tatra Mountains 🗼.
Relaxing in Rozkówka Park: A charming forest park with a recreation complex, located on the border of Psary and Będzin. The perfect spot for a calm family walk in the shade of the trees and a break from the scorching sun 🌳.
The Royal Castle in Będzin: A medieval 14th-century defensive castle just a few minutes away. A stroll around the castle courtyard and a climb up the tower make for a great history lesson and an excellent idea for spending an afternoon as a couple 🏰.
Zagłębie-style zalewajka for recovery: After pushing watts hard on the road, you need to properly refuel. Local restaurants will treat you to traditional, hearty Zagłębie zalewajka with smoked meat, homemade pierogi, or a solid portion of pasta that will perfectly replenish your glycogen stores 🍲.
Gather your crew, pump up your tubulars, tuck into an aerodynamic position, and feel the rush of the peloton during Silesia Bike Road Race in Psary!
