A fantastic route. The Polish side is superbly prepared, the Czech side a bit less so, but there's no point complaining.

There are five rest areas along the section of the route that runs along the former tracks, including one covered one in Jastrzębie-Zdrój Szotkowice. The central point of the trail is the Green Bridge Station – a recreation area located near the bridge over Professor Ranoszka Street and the Szotkówka River. In Gołkowice, the trail passes the historic wooden Church of St. Anne, and in Karviná, it passes a historic palace and church.
