The shelter is located at the eastern end of Przybrodzin, behind the promenade, next to the pedestrian-cycle path leading towards Ostrów. Coming from the direction of Powidz and Przybrodzin, you need to ride along the promenade and then continue along its extension. Officially, it is a path for pedestrians and cyclists, which also hosts the blue cycle route around Lake Powidzkie. The new section extending the promenade is about 280 meters long. After the view of the lake appears, there is still a short, about 20-meter climb to the shelter. On my planned route around Lake Powidzkie, this was one of the most scenically attractive points. From my direction of travel from Powidz, a beautiful view of the lake first appeared between the trees, and about 100 meters further, after a short climb, I reached the bike shelter. Next to it, there is a small clearing where a larger group of trip participants can also rest. It is a peaceful and very pleasant place for a short stop. I was there on August 21, 2026, during a period of changeable weather, and perhaps that's why I didn't meet anyone on the trail.

The hotel is indeed run by the Moran Cycling Club and their official "Coffee for Cyclist" initiative: you arrive by bike, and a QR code leads you to their Strava community. They even have their own gravel routes shared directly in Komoot. Moran Cycling Club – the official page of Moran Hotel & SPA https://hotelmoran.pl/moran-cycling-club?utm_source=chatgpt.com. Interestingly, it was precisely this point that I had previously consciously removed from my trip plan – it seemed unappealing to me, as what could be interesting for a cyclist in visiting a hotel complex? As it turned out – one can be very wrong sometimes. A cyclist entering the hotel grounds can spend two hours for free on the beautiful, sandy beach, and if you have the Strava app installed – receive a free coffee. A small, but truly friendly gesture towards cyclists. And perhaps it is precisely such surprises that are the best part of trips. A chance encounter on the route with a person who showed me this place and led me there, gave this excursion a completely different dimension. A place that I had crossed off my plan myself, ultimately became one of the most pleasant surprises on the route. Directions: From Ostrów, about 2.3 km of forest road leads to the Moran Hotel. Access by bike is hassle-free – it's worth heading directly to the Moran Hotel, even though the facility is located slightly off the main route. Don't be discouraged by the forest access – at the end, a beautiful location directly on Lake Powidzkie and the beach awaits.

Quite a nice (narrow) singletrack along the shore of Lake Powidzkie. It is quite narrow in places, sometimes there are natural obstacles (logs, branches), but passable for mtb / gravel. Starts on the beach in Salomonowo and ends on the pier (although private / leased from Polskie Woda - as of 2024/10). Very clean water and at the same time the surface of the lake is getting smaller, which is unfortunately a worrying phenomenon. and attention - right in front of the pier there is a steep descent and stairs made of wooden logs.

It is not a special attraction, but it is worth knowing that it is a bridge over a canal connecting two lakes.

Beautifully clear water, perfect for swimming in. Highly recommended! Lots of sand around the approach to the lake and some bays have steep steps to get to the water, but its worth it.

It is wildly crowded during the season, as it is directly adjacent to the camping site.
