Footbridge over the Soła River

Highlight • Bridge

A pleasant crossing between two bridges. You can't ride onto this footbridge, but there are guide rails. Nice view from the top of the river and the boulevards.

The market square in Oświęcim was designed during the medieval location of the city as a central trading point, initially surrounded by wooden buildings. At the market square, there was the seat of the city authorities and the most significant burgher houses. Currently, the market square is surrounded by brick houses, mostly from the 19th century, and there are restaurants on the slab.
In 2009, "Tęcza" - a commercial pavilion from the 1960s, built on a bunker from the Second World War, was demolished. The demolition of the "Rainbow" standing in the middle of the Market Square was a turning point, after which the revitalization of the Main Market Square began.

Oświęcim Castle

Highlight • Castle

Castle in Oświęcim - a building erected in the Middle Ages on the top of a hill, on the right bank of the Soła river in Oświęcim.
The castle consists of an early gothic bergfried tower built at the end of the 13th century and a two-storey, basement building erected on a rectangular plan (old castle wing from the beginning of the 16th century) and a link from 1929–1931 built on the site of older buildings. A significant part of the fortifications was taken by the river - which changed its course for centuries.
On the castle hill there are remains of defensive walls and bastions. The royal castle was located in the second half of the 16th century in the Silesian poviat of the Kraków voivodeship. There are two tunnels under the castle: the older one (built before 1914) and the other one drilled by the Germans (1940–1944). This tunnel served as an air-raid shelter.
The first mentions of the Oświęcim castellany come from the period when it was incorporated into the Duchy of Opole (1177–1179). The reconstruction and fortification of the castle are attributed to the son of Mieszko Plątonogi, Prince Kazimierz. This is evidenced by archaeological discoveries near the tower confirming the existence of a brick structure on the castle hill in the first half of the 13th century.

Vistula Cycling Route WTR Oświęcim–Miętków

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A very good quality, asphalt section of the bicycle route along the Vistula embankments.
There is a view of the Vistula River from the route.
We liked the stage from Oświęcim the most - the first-class surface on the Vistula embankment is a recipe for the success of this route. On both sides of the embankment, my eyes were filled with vigorous green, and my nose was dizzy with the scent of blooming trees and flowers. The area around the route is a kingdom of nature due to the limited human interference in the floodplain.

In the meadows we searched for pheasants absorbed in courtship, hares flashed in the fields, and we accidentally scared a herd of deer out of the bushes. Sometimes the route rubbed against the forest wall, other times it approached small towns, but we still saw the thin thread of the Vistula and the spring nature exploding in its surroundings.

Highlight • Cycleway

Even though the komoot led that way when planning for road cycling, there was some gravel that takes away from the fun of road cycling.
