A cycling paradise around the water For cyclists, Pogoria IV is an absolute classic in the region. The loop around the reservoir is about 13-16 kilometers long (depending on the chosen variant). The western bank welcomes with smooth, fast asphalt (part of the route runs along the crest of the embankment), ideal for road bikes or skates. The eastern and northern banks, in turn, offer more natural, gravel and forest paths, where you can experience a more off-road, "cross" atmosphere and test how your gear handles outside of the perfect surface.

Fire observation post (popularly called a fire tower), belonging to the State Forests. Key information about the facility: Purpose and function: The tower is used for early detection of forest fires. At the very top, there is a glazed observation cabin (gondola). Nowadays, traditional observers are often replaced by high-resolution television cameras, which transmit live images to the alarm and dispatch center in the forest district. Construction: This is a modern type of tower with a monolithic concrete core, on which a platform with a technical gallery and radio communication equipment (visible antennas) has been mounted. Location: This facility is strategically located in the Trzebiesławice forests (managed by the Siewierz Forest District) to provide a view of the extensive forest complex in the Zagłębie region and the edge of the Krakow-Częstochowa Jura.

For cyclists, Pogoria IV is an absolute classic in the region. The loop around the reservoir is about 13-16 kilometers long (depending on the chosen variant). The western bank welcomes you with smooth, fast asphalt (part of the route runs along the top of the embankment), ideal for road bikes or rollerblades. The eastern and northern banks, on the other hand, offer more natural, gravel and forest paths, where you can feel a more off-road, "cross" vibe.

At this point, you will cross to the other side of the channels. On one side Łagisza, on the other Ksawera.

The park has numerous alleys, a playground, a pond, a fountain, cafes, and an ice cream stand. It is an ideal place for a family walk amidst birdsong. I especially recommend it in spring and summer. It has its charm in autumn too ;)
