Single tracks Ostrzyca, Pod Ostrzycą and Zielonki

Single tracks around Ostrzyca – the easiest routes, also recommended for families with children under the most famous extinct volcano.

Information

  • all three routes are very close to each other, so you can easily drive them during one trip, starting in the same parking lot
  • Track length:
    – Ostrzyca single track – 4.1 km
    – Pod Ostrzycą single track – 3.9 km
    – Zielonki single track – approx. 5.1 km

  • “Pod Ostrzycą” and “Zielonki” are, next to the single tracks “Dwa Wąwozy” and “Pod Grzybkami”, the easiest of the Kaczawski single tracks – forest cycling routes
  • “Pod Ostrzycą” is actually an easy uphill trail to start riding both other singles.
  • “Zielonki” does not have any steep sections, it is suitable for beginners, ideal for children
  • “Ostrzyca” is a slightly more difficult route – with a steeper climb and several technical obstacles (drops, tables, rollers) – most of them you can easily bypass
