Tips from the Community
It's worth stopping here on EuroVelo 4. Good cyclist service point - good shelter, nice route map, and nicely maintained. Slightly off the route itself, but worth deviating for a break. Maybe a small picnic?

The pedestrian and bicycle footbridge over the San in Przemyśl is a structure suspended on 24 steel cables, weighing about 175 tons. It is an attractive point on the bicycle route, offering spectacular views of the river and the city panorama. Right next to it, on the southern bank of the San, is the Green Velo Cyclist Service Area (MOR), where you can rest and use the infrastructure for cyclists (a shelter, benches, bicycle racks).

The fort was completed in 1914, after the outbreak of World War I, on the basis of an earlier fortification. It was built on a pentagonal plan, with barracks in the neck section on the left side of the axis, and an ammunition depot on the right. Infantry positions were placed around the entire perimeter of the rampart, secured by a stone breastwork.

The fort was built in 1882-1886 as a single-rampart artillery fort with a pentagonal outline. In the neck part there were concrete barracks, and behind them two ammunition magazines. On the ramparts there were two artillery positions separated by crossbars. The fort's moat was defended with three caponiers, which increased its defensive capabilities.

Beautiful and very relaxed market square, great town hall

The castle may not be too big (especially for someone from Malbork :) and many of its elements are reconstructions, so it has its own atmosphere. The views from the towers available for sightseeing are impressive.

Old Town Market Square in Przemyśl. Atmospheric narrow and cobbled streets with numerous historic churches and tenement houses create a beautiful atmosphere of this place.

A very charming place. Many cafes and restaurants. On the market square there is an outline of the town hall that once existed here.
