at a glance

For your 8-day location-based tour in the Gizycko area

Individual arrival in Masuria: by car directly to your accommodation or by train or plane to Warsaw. We recommend using regular bus services from Warsaw to Giżycko. For those travelling by car, we provide guarded parking (payable on-site). In the afternoon bicycles and information materials will be handed over. 

Cycling tour through the Masurian villages towards the Borecka Forest, where you can see Europe's largest animal - the European bison. 

A full-day cycling tour around Lake Niegocin. The route is very picturesque and full of beautiful views. In the village of Rydzewo, we recommend a restaurant with regional specialities.

Today you will take the scenic cycle route to Sztynort, where you can visit the former estate of the famous von Lehndorff family. 

Another cycling tour leads along lakes Kisajno and Dobskie to the Wolf’s Lair, where you can visit Hitler's former war headquarters. 

After breakfast, transfer by minibus to Kętrzyn. From there - a cycling tour to Reszel, where you can visit the castle of the bishops of Warmia. The next destination is Święta Lipka with the most famous Masurian sanctuary. We recommend visiting the church and attending an organ concert. In the late afternoon return by minibus from Kętrzyn to Giżycko.

In the morning, a cycling trip to Mikołajki. After a stay in Mikolajki and a tour of the town, there will be a ship cruise to Gizycko. Cruise time: approximately 3 hours.

After breakfast, tour participants make their individual return journey. 

Level

Occasional cyclists

You prefer flat terrain, but you won’t be put off by the occasional hill. There has to be the right mix of breaks, nature and culture. You enjoy exercise and bring some stamina and cycling experience to the table.

Topography 

The daily cycling stages take you through flat to undulating terrain.

Road conditions

You cycle mostly on sealed side roads, and sometimes on unpaved gravel and forest paths. Some traffic is to be expected from time to time.

Route-finding & navigation

You will navigate by yourself using maps and/or GPS data.

Fancy a break from cycling?

On a location-based tour, you can simply choose to skip a day's cycling if a stage seems too difficult for you.

There are places in the world of cycle touring that are just so picturesque and diverse that once you have arrived, you can't tear yourself away. They have so much to offer that you will struggle to decide which direction to cycle in first. These special spots are where we at PEDALO have created our location-based tours just for you.

Keep riding, but always stay in the same place

In contrast to staged tours and round trips, you won't cycle from place to place, and thus from hotel to hotel. Instead, you will stay in one and the same accommodation for the duration of your cycling holiday. This hotel will be the starting point for fascinating cycling excursions in the surrounding area. Every day, there will be new routes for you to explore. Every evening, you will return to hosts who put their heart and soul into their work and offer you a pleasantly cosy atmosphere with a healthy dose of class. Instead of having to pack your bags each day, you simply get to ride your bike and enjoy your holiday.

For beginners, improvers - and anyone seeking a breath of fresh air

This type of cycling holiday is designed for anyone who likes to take it easy. If you’re feeling a bit too sore for cycling or the weather isn't looking good, you can simply take a day off. Location-based tours are also ideal for first-time cyclists who may not yet know exactly how much they can or want to tackle in a day. No unnecessary stress, just pure freedom - so your tour can be all about the joy of cycling!

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.
