Bridge Over the Soła River

Highlight • Bridge

The Soła River is a mountain river that gave its name to the Velo Soła cycling route. Velo Soła is an approximately 40-kilometer cycling route along the Soła River, from Rajcza to Lake Żywieckie. The route is well-marked and offers a variety of surfaces, from asphalt to gravel, making it ideal for trekking and gravel bikes. During the trip, you can admire the picturesque landscapes of the Żywiec Beskids and visit interesting places, such as historic churches in Rajcza and Milówka, forts in Węgierska Górka or the Żywiec Brewery Museum. The proximity of train stations on the route makes it easier to plan your trip and return.

October 19, 2024,Velo Soła - tam i z powrotem

Due to the chosen parking place for the car, after 450 m from the start (and 450 m before the end) it was necessary to carry the bikes "up the stairs" to get to the trail. Of course, this could have been avoided if you had started Velo Soła a little earlier.
