The best cycling routes around Krościenko Wyżne

Today we visited the tower and explored the accessible rooms. The ground floor doors were closed, while the upstairs room with a nature photography exhibition was open, and of course, the viewing gallery on the second floor. For now, the view toward the expansive Carpathian panorama is unobstructed, but that will change. Right across the asphalt road between the tower and the panorama, in an area slightly higher than the base of the observation tower, someone has planted spruce trees along the road. 😮 The observation deck on the tower is 9 meters high. I was looking for information on how long it will take for the spruce trees to reach this height and block the view. The AI review provided the following answer: "A spruce tree needs about 15 to 30 years to reach 9 meters in height, as it grows on average 30 to 60 cm per year, with the fastest growth occurring between the 5th and 15th year of the tree's life. The exact time depends on the spruce species, soil conditions, sunlight, and care." WW

According to the plan, on April 19, 2024, the pedestrian and vehicle footbridge over the Wisłok River was officially opened for use. The total cost of building this facility is PLN 4,606,648.64. (...) The new crossing connects two parts of Besko divided by the Wisłok River and will serve the residents of the commune moving on foot, on two-wheelers or by passenger cars to school, library, church, cultural center, nursery, sports facilities, commune and post offices, police station, shops or their own homes. It significantly shortens the route to the above-mentioned facilities and, most importantly, directs local pedestrian and car traffic away from the busy and dangerous national road no. 28. (...)

The square is nicely lit at night, as if from below. Small architecture, benches, monument. In the summer season, next to the square there is an open ice cream stand from the Jagusia confectionery from Krosno. Scoop PLN 6.50, approx. 10 flavors. I recommend mascarpone with raspberry and coffee with walnut. 😀 Behind the square, on the same side of the road, there is an Orthodox church on a hill. Closer to the Wisłok River, on the other side of the main street (DK28), there is a sports and bicycle shop. Hiking tourists who do not have cars can reach Besko by Kubuś buses serving the Krosno - Zarszyn - Sanok route. WW

A neo-Gothic granary made of stone and brick from the first half of the 19th century, stands near the crossroads in the village of Zmiananica. In the past, it was part of the manor buildings, which unfortunately have not survived to this day. Source: http://www.polskaniezwykla.pl/web/place/1470,zmiennica-spichlerz-neogotycki.html

Ruins of a Gothic castle from the 14th century, expanded in the 16th century in the Renaissance style. The building is located on a rock at an altitude of 452 m above sea level. There is an interesting nature trail running around. There is a parking lot nearby (towards Podzamcze), but several cars can also fit in the lay-by next to the road.

Attraction for tourists. Renovated path at Kamieniec Castle. I recommend.
