The best MTB trails around Miłosław

The palace was built in the early 19th century at the request of Józef Mielżyński, according to a design by K.F. Schinkel, as a (then relatively modest) villa-palace. In the mid-19th century, it was expanded to include the wings of the southern façade, the western wing, and a tower in the Neo-Renaissance style. The reconstruction was designed by Count Seweryn Mielżyński himself. He intended to designate the eastern wing of the façade as a picture gallery. The next reconstruction took place at the end of the 19th century. It was carried out by the next owner of Miłosław, Józef Kościelski, to whom the palace owes its regular façade wings, the Grand Order portico, the balustrade-like finial, and the additional tower story, among other things. Thanks to these efforts, the palace acquired the classic appearance of a Neo-Renaissance residence. The façade, with its central projection and Grand Order portico, is particularly impressive. Four Ionic columns support the architrave, which supports the triangular pediment. The avant-corps is connected to the side wings, which protrude significantly from the facade, and feature charming galleries decorated with vases. A quadrangular tower, topped by a belvedere surrounded by a balustrade, dominates the entire structure. The garden façade is enhanced by a perpendicularly added wing. The palace stands in a beautiful landscaped park. (naprzekordniom.wordpress.com) Currently (October 2025), the building is undergoing facade renovations.

This neo-Gothic hunting lodge, built in the form of a medieval defensive complex, was built in 1854, likely according to the design of Seweryn Mielżyński. The Hunting Lodge, also known as the "Pheasantry" (until 1945, a pheasant farm was located here), was built on a small hill surrounded by forests. The building is constructed of stone and brick and is single-story. It features an octagonal tower on the western side. It is partially surrounded by a defensive wall with battlements, embrasures, and a tower. A wooden lookout tower was placed in a corner of the wall. It was partially destroyed after the war and rebuilt in 1974. Currently, the renovated complex houses the "Darz Bór" restaurant and hotel. (darzbor.eu)

Miłosław Palace is a 19th-century Classicist residence located in the southern part of the city. Built as a Neo-Renaissance villa designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it was subsequently expanded several times, including by Seweryn Mielżyński. In its heyday, it served as an "open house," hosting distinguished writers, musicians, and painters, and housed a museum housing a valuable art collection. Burnt down in 1945, it was rebuilt in the 1960s, preserving its original appearance. Today, it houses a school, and the building is surrounded by a picturesque park, worth visiting on a bicycle tour of the area.

General Dąbrowski's Palace in Winna Góra is an important place on the historical map of Wielkopolska, closely associated with the figure of Jan Henryk Dąbrowski, a national hero and founder of the legions. The current building from the early 20th century refers in its form to a classic Polish manor house and today houses a modern cultural institution. Visitors can learn about the history of the general, the idea of organic work and see memorabilia related to the Napoleonic era. Around the palace there is a historic park with ponds, and the entire area is conveniently accessible by bike - the road or gravel route from nearby Środa Wielkopolska is the best.

Szwajcaria Żerkowska is an exceptionally picturesque part of Wielkopolska, which delights with its slightly undulating landscape, rich nature and views reaching several dozen kilometers. It is especially worth visiting the viewpoint above Brzóstków, located on the slopes of Łysa Góra - the highest elevation of the region. From the platform there is a panorama of forests, villages, palaces and churches, including the impressive palace in Śmiełów and the abbey in Ląd. This is a great place to rest during a bicycle trip around the Żerkowsko-Czeszewski Landscape Park - it is best to plan the journey by MTB or gravel bike due to the terrain with a large difference in height.

Google says that there are often SOK officers waiting under the bridge. Pay attention before you start crossing. The grates are securely attached, for sure. You can even ride :) Also watch out for trains, in case of "in" you can hide in the alleys.
