Cycle route2
This route is quite easy but a little bit confusing in case of finding right direction. It is rather dedicated to people willing to sightsee. It connects practically all the historic objects located in the west side of Olszanica, especially in the area of the former property of Kmita magnate family. We can visit several valuable churches and orthodox churches as well as other unique monuments of Podkarpackie province such as the ruins of the monastery in Zagórz, the synagogue and the Jewish cemetery in Lesko, the ruins of the medieval castle on Sobień mountain. There are some more places worth visiting for example: the Lesko Stone - a natural monument which is mentioned in many legends , beaver reserve on the river Olszanka or unique the Way of the Cross on monastery hill in Zagórz. Some of these attractions are in short distance from the route and to visit them you should get off the route and go several hundred metres more. Others are just on the way. There is one difficult field stretch on the route - going up Postłowska mountain behind Wielopole village. When it is warm you can play in the Osława river, which flows lazily through Zagórz. Passing Zagórz, we go to the north to the local road towards Ropienka. We quickly get off it and cross the Wańkówka stream going to the right bank of this stream. The asphalt road leads to the watershed dividing between the river basins of Wańkówka and Dyrbek. Then we go downhill to the west, at the foot of the gliding centre on Kamionka Hill and we get Bezmiechowa. We return to the north, through the nameless ridge, we reach Manasterzec and going down the village, we get a busy road going along the bank of the San River. It goes uphill to Sobień mountain, where the ruins of the castle are hidden. Then it leads along the edge of the Słonne Mountains to Załuż. We turn back to the south and take two crossings: the railway bridge through the San River to Zasław and the road bridge through Osława to Zagórz. The boulevard along the Osława River leads to Marymont hill with the ruins of the monastery. While admiring the Way of the Cross, we return to the Road to Komancza village but we quickly get off it. We turn to the east and cross again the Osława River going to Wielopole. We can see the bleached Orthodox church, the ruins of the monastery and time to go up Postołowska Mountain. We will have opportunity to rest on the way down along the old road to Postołów. After crossing the San River, taking no. 84 road, we go to the historic centre of Lesko. Then passing the springs of mineral water, we take the gravel road through Średnia Mountain and we reach Glinne village where the Leski Kamień is hidden. We pass the village trying to avoid the busy road. Then taking the gravel road we go through the picturesque area along the railway to get to Podkamionka village. Next we use the country roads, crossing the flat area , along the the beaver reserve, and looking out for walking signs , we reach Uherce Mineralne. Time to visit the church and then we go to Olszanica, where at the Municipal Office we finish the route.
