The best traffic-free bike rides around Tychy City

The Street Art Gallery in the underground passage (officially known as the „Art in the Underground” project) is an extremely spectacular point on the map of Tychy, located in a pedestrian-cycle tunnel under the DK1 route (Beskidzka Street) at the height of the Paprocany district. It is a must-stop (POI) to add to the Komoot app, which allows you to combine cultural immersion with a smooth bike ride.

Park Północny has a completely different atmosphere than St. Francis Park. It is much wilder, more naturalistic, and wooded. Its greatest attraction are three large fishponds (northern, central, and southern), which are a paradise for local waterfowl, amphibians, and unique vegetation (the protected water chestnut grows here, among other plants). The park's absolute highlight is a charming island on one of the ponds, accessed by a modern wooden footbridge (pier) and a Roman pavement. It's an ideal spot, isolated from the hustle and bustle, for a short rest on the route. In the area of Elfów and Edukacji streets, you will also find characteristic red architectural frames serving as original benches that frame the views of the greenery.

The revitalized, historic heart of the city, officially known as Farski Square. It is the ideal place for a short rest during a bike or walking tour. The square's name comes from the former parish church (rectory), around which this charming market square was created. It is worth stopping here by the fountain, seeing the characteristic Bell Tower Gate, and the historic building of the current library. Around the square, you will find benches, shade from trees, and local shops where you can easily replenish your supplies for the rest of your route.

Most Bronisław - that's its name. When driving towards Oświęcim from Wola or Jedlina, it's the only option for cyclists. The new Oświęcim bypass is not adapted for cyclists and pedestrians.

The origins of the "Piast" Coal Mine in Lędziny, where the Social Services Center was opened, date back to 1843. It was then named "Henry's Joy" in honor of the last Anhalt Duke of Pszczyna. In the 19th century, it was called "Matylda," in the interwar period "Henryk," and then "Szyby Piast." After World War II, the name was finally changed to "Piast." After 150 years of operation, the mine was closed due to depletion of its resources. The hoist tower was demolished in 1999. On November 2, 2009, by decision of the Voivode, the district received this 4-hectare site. In 2015, a decision was made to revitalize the complex for social purposes. In 2018-19, a project entitled "Reconstruction of the Hoisting Machine Building for the Social Services Center of the Bieruń-Lędziny District" was implemented.

This mining monument, a shaft wheel, is located in Lędziny. This area is the former site of the KWK Piast mine. The building visible in the background is the former hoisting machine building, which has been renovated and now houses the District Social Services Center in Lędziny. This location commemorates the region's rich mining traditions, and the wheel itself is a tangible symbol of the mining industry in Upper Silesia. Many other towns in the region, such as Radzionków (Mini Open-Air Mining Museum) and Zabrze (Guido Mine, Queen Luiza Adit), also preserve the memory of mining through open-air museums and monuments.
