This strikingly modern church, built between 1981 and 1995, has been known as the Sanctuary since 1996. It is nestled in a beautiful, tree-lined setting. It's worth a stop, but it's impossible to miss.

There is everything you need: food (fries, sandwiches, hamburgers), beer (non-alcoholic and alcoholic), ice cream (scoops and Italian), water.

Perfect for washing your bike, but you might want to think twice before drinking this water. Like the surrounding reservoirs, it could contain "all of Mendeleev."

Interesting fact. You can learn a thing or two about mining phenomena.

A beautiful place, a great route (almost). Avoid the last section from Chechło to the finish line. Don't turn left after Chechło, just follow the road. About 5km of sand, roots, and mud. A nightmare. The rest of the route is fabulous. The desert, the Wind Rose, and the wooden footbridge are fantastic. The same goes for the other paved sections: the concrete is super smooth, the gravel is premium. It's worth it, truly worth it.
