Below you'll find a description of the whole route, with a link to it on Google Maps at the end.

Route: Chroszcz, Tykocin, Kiermusy, Pentowo, Waniewo.

Main features of the route:

Little truck traffic,

Mostly asphalt roads running through both forests and fields, with a short stretch on national road 19

Plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy nature.

Destination – the reservoir in Czarna Białostocka (time: 30 minutes – 1 hour)

We head to Czarna Białostocka along road no. 19 from the capital of Podlasie. At weekends it’s quiet. Take care for now, though, as roadworks are currently under way. The destination wasn’t chosen by accident – there’s a bathing area. It’s about 28°C in the shade today, so a bit of cooling off will come in handy.

Korycin Cultural Park (30 min – 1 h)

A bit of history. We were in for a small surprise – a larger group of motorcyclists had come here too. Proof that the place is bike-friendly.

We ride on – next stop: another reservoir, Tykocin

Korycin (1.5 – 2 hours)

Once again we make use of nature’s own coolant – water :). On top of that, there’s a strawberry monument in Tykocin. As you can probably guess – yes, it’s worth coming here on Strawberry Day 🙂

Time is pressing – next stop: Sokółka.

Sokółka (1.5 – 2 hours)

There’s a lot to see here. It’s worth remembering that Sokółka lies on a historic trade route – once the main road between great powers. There’s also the Museum of the Sokółka Land. This time, though, more down-to-earth needs called. There’s a place here called Stara Szkoła (the Old School) – supposedly an ordinary ice-cream parlour, but at weekends there’s always a 1–2 hour queue. Around 80 flavours.

Right, let’s ride on to Bohoniki

Bohoniki (30 minutes to 1 hour)

Bohoniki is a tiny village on the Great Tatar Trail. It’s home to a historic mosque.

That’s all for today.

Route time: from 5 to over 9 hours

OK. Below you’ll find a link to Google Maps so you can plan a few things yourself. Remember, I haven’t described all the attractions along the route – there’s much more waiting for you out there.

Left hand up and ride safe!
