When the snow melts, the aura will become a little more sunny, and the temperature will jump more boldly above 10 degrees, a beautiful season begins in Zieleniec, which delights with colors and tranquility. Waking up to life after the winter break, nature invites you to walk and active rest, which is one of the most important values these days.
The ski season, despite several obstacles, was intense in our areas. The days during which you could ski were used by skiers and snowboarders one hundred percent. And although many of the winter sports enthusiasts visiting Zieleniec are quite reluctant to put aside ski equipment, it is still possible to spend active leisure time here. There are a lot of options, and the instantly greening neighborhood is sure to add an unforgettable charm to everything.
Just in front of you
Zieleniec is located on the slopes of the Orlickie Mountains and in the vicinity of another Sudeten mountain range - the Bystrzyckie Mountains. Since they are not among the most popular destinations for tourists crossing the Sudetenland, it is worth planning the first long spring walk or escape in this area. They are also perfect for children - softer ridges or less demanding approaches will certainly not discourage the little ones, and the beauty of nature, delicious views and perspective will perhaps instill in them a love of the mountains and the surrounding areas.
It is worth emphasizing at this point that in today's still pandemic times, it is necessary to remember not to cross the Polish-Czech border. Regulations are changing very dynamically and it is better to whisper cold today so as not to get involved in the need to undergo quarantine or show the patrols present on the trails a negative result of a coronavirus test. Of course, the beautiful round from Zieleniec through Orlica to the vicinity of Masaryková Chata and then back to Zieleniec is possible without crossing the border, although it should be borne in mind that the route leads exactly along the border, therefore, for example, with poor visibility it is very easy to lose the path and even unknowingly go to the Czech side. In the beginning, of course, you should visit newly built observation tower on Orlicy, which offers a view of almost the entire Sudetenland - from the Bohemian Jeseniks to the highest peaks in the Giant Mountains. However, if you want to cross the mountain trails without any fear of control or unconscious crossing of the border, it is worth planning a route in the Bystrich Mountains. Stretching for miles, beautiful forest ducks lead you amidst lush nature and many riddles of history. The peat bog near Zieleniec, the ruins of Fort Fryderyk in the western part or the ruins of Fort Wilhelm near the village of Huta. And this is only part of the mysteries and surprises that await you in these mountains. Above all, their wildness in many places and the silence and tranquility prevailing almost throughout the range are priceless. It is something that each of us today seeks and needs more than ever.
Bicycling in different ways
In winter - skiing (snowboarding), in spring, summer and autumn - a bicycle - this dependence is observed more and more often with each season. This is not surprising - the surrounding mountains are tens of kilometers of routes perfectly suited for practicing various varieties of cycling - both its road and, above all, mountain variety. For all those who are passionate about the biggest world tours (Tour de France, Giro D'Italia) we recommend the round Zieleniec - Duszniki - Zieleniec. It is an excellent 25-kilometer adventure with numerous ascents, descents and above all beautiful views. But it is not long known that the surroundings of Zieleniec are a paradise for fans of mountain biking. Dozens of kilometers of trails on which you can ride freely and without restrictions, but above all the routes located in the Kłodzko Region as part of the Singletrack Glacensis (23 loops with a total length of 260 km) are definitely one of the biggest attractions for MTB fans in the whole region.
However, this is not the end of cycling attractions. During this year's holiday, a new Family Bike Park will be put into use, which will be located in the resorts of Nartoramy and Gryglówka. It will consist of a total of 7 routes of varying difficulty, and their total length will be 12 kilometers. The first two routes should be opened in May, and the entire project in late July and early August.
Running in the mountains
Mountain running is an activity that grows in popularity with each passing season. This is accompanied by an increasing number of competitions also organized in the Kłodzko Region. To prepare for them, it is good to train in suitable, mountainous terrain. And again in this case it is difficult not to recommend Zieleniec and the surrounding area. Numerous trails, paths, routes with numerous elevations, magnificent viewpoints, where you can take a short break, are the ideal place to practice this activity combining sports with mountains, regardless of the season or the current weather in the area. The season for a mountain run, as the toughest enthusiasts show, is actually always there.
At the very end, it is necessary to mention the biggest attraction of Zieleniec, which is the microclimate and the crystal clear mountain air. This is the only region in the whole country where the unique pressure system of air masses has such a beneficial effect on the regeneration of the human body. Every moment spent actively in Zieleniec is a building block for improving the efficiency and resistance of the human body. Thanks to the increased production of red blood cells, being in Zieleniec we recover faster and rest more efficiently. If we are still sleeping here, the efficiency of sleep will also be better. Today we are not in danger of closing the forests, so nothing prevents us from even spontaneously coming to Zieleniec and enjoying its charms, attractions and microclimate. We hope that soon, with the lifting of restrictions, we will be able to invite you not only to our restaurants and bars, but above all to encourage you to visit Zieleniec for the weekend or for a longer vacation, when our accommodation base will be available.
Zieleniec is not only a winter resort — it is a year-round place that delights with nature, tranquility and opportunities for active recreation. Spring is the perfect time for walking, cycling, running and recovery in a unique microclimate. Pack comfortable shoes, bike or running gear and arrive, if only for the weekend. Here you can really catch your breath and want to come back.
