Der Weg nach Kcynia

Szubin – Pińsko – Stare Słonawy – Malice – Kcynia – Żurawia – Dziewierzewo – Chraplewo – Królikowo – Słupy – Kowalewo – Szubin

In Szubin, we start on the bike path along Leśna Street and go straight. Then we turn left onto Pałucka Street, which becomes a dirt road. On the left, the village of Wolwark is visible from afar. After about 7 km, we reach an asphalt road crossing our route. On the right, we can see Pińsko, where there is an abandoned manor complex from around 1870 with remnants of a former grand park. We turn right, pass the village, and continue on a dirt road to Stare Słonawy.

Next, we turn left toward Słonawy. Then we follow an asphalt road toward Zalesie until the signpost for Malice, where we turn right and continue on asphalt to Kcynia. We join the road to Wągrowiec. After about 5 km, we turn left toward the village of Żurawia, and then continue straight to Dziewierzewo.

From Dziewierzewo, there are three options to return to Szubin. The shortest is via Malice to road 247 leading directly to Szubin. The medium route follows the asphalt road through Chraplewo, where there is a 19th-century manor complex, to Królikowo, passing a park with a neo-Gothic gate, a historic post office, and a brick distillery from the late 19th century, then to road 247. The longest route goes through the village of Słupy, where there is the 11th-century church of St. Vitus and an 18th-century palace, to the Pałuki junction on S5 leading back to Szubin.

For an extended ride, one can cross S5 and head toward Wąsosz, then Chomętowo, Gąbin, and Mąkoszyn, returning through forests toward Smolniki.
