Cycle route 4

• 48,3km 3h 10min

The route is a bit difficult. At the beginning of the tour we face a5 km long, quasi-asphalt uphill roadto the highest pointofthemassif of Żukow - Holica. Stronglypressing on the pedals, we will overcome the 300-meteraltitude difference. From Holica we go down along awide road in the forest,leading down onthe northern slope of Żukow. In the winter it is used asthe route for ski-runners. This part is especially demanding after rains. We finish it in Ustjanowa Górna - the local centre of classic skiing. Other difficulties are on thefield section led by the Równia massif (the uphill roadto the topof Wierch andpassing the ridgepathand thendownhill ski slalom slope onGromadzyń).  Farther part of the route, running  mostly by local roads,  is much more easier. In the village of Łodyna, looking at the respectful, grand  slalom route on the slope of Laworta, we  have to admit that Ustrzyki Dolne deserves the name of the winter capital of Podkarpacie. There are  five wooden  orthodox churches  on the route and one of   great beauty- the unique   Orthodox Church in the village of Równia.  We go to the east  at the Municipal Office  in Olszanica.    We go down the road No. 84 up the wide valley of Old Potok. Having passed Stefkowa, we reach Ustjanowa Dolna. 
We leave the comfortable road here and start the  hard  part of the route  - the local road, winding up the northern slope of the massif of Żukow. We reach the pass under Holica. Here the main route goes  through the ridge of Żukow. We continue   rising up along the wide fire line on the ridge. In short distance  behind the culmination of  Holica on the northern slope of Żukowo we face demanding downhill    road to Ustjanowa Górna. Here we again choose  the eastern azimuth. We go through the asphalt streets next to the old woodwork, then we  take the local road through the village of Równia and leave it at the western end of the village of Hoszowczyk. We turn to the north-located massif of Równia. There is a difficult technically  field  stretch to the top  of Wierch,  then a pleasant ride along the ridge of the massif to the west, and finally a technically difficult downhill ski slope from Gromadzyń. At the bottom of the ski-lift we go through  Naftowa street to the road no. 896 (Fabryczna Street) and go to the east along  the road no. 84 (29 Listopada Street) towards  border village of  Krościenko. Passing the eastern part of Ustrzyki Dolne, after another 2 kilometres, in the village of Brzegi Dolne, we turn to the local road and go north to located at  the  bottom of Kamienna  Laworta massif - Łodyna village.  We take direction to the  north-west here and go uphill  through the village of Dźwiniacz Dolny, on the Dźwiniacka Pass. After crossing the European watershed dividing  we go downhill  along the asphalt road, down  the Serednica stream. We go through the settlements of Romanowa Wola and Serednica to reach Wańkowa. Here we turn to the  southwest and go through the pass between Magura and Słonne Mountains, down the Wańkówka stream which flows  its water to Olszanica stream  . The route ends at the place where it started.
