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.
