When I thought nothing can beat Sicily (joke) I'm in When I thought nothing can beat Sicily (joke) I directed my two wheels to the Calabria mountains. I've had it in mind for a long time but attempted with a lot of worry if I manage to cycle (and push through) at least a bit of 545 km Calabria Parks Cycle Route - Calabria Parks Cycle Route that crosses 4 national parks on top of the hills. The reason is - I love nature and silence and even though the coast is spectacular, you share road with many cars. Not my thing at all. But The Parks Cycle Path is difficult. Requires lots of effort. More than 12000 metres of climbing but yes, descending too. Oh man!! But you know what.. I don't need to be quick. Most days I've cycled like 40 km a day. I've done some detours and completed some 70-80 % of the length - jeez, I don't remember when I pushed that hard. Rewarded with serene forests, plains, meadows, silence though. Great people that are both surprised and happy to see a foreigner in their villages. Met very few cyclists but maybe not a season yet. All of them bikepack, I have been the only one (very) fully loaded. Maybe the first Polish cyclist here? Today I will (most probably) cycle down to the coast but already planning detouring Inland of Italian boot when following north. That's when authenticity is. . . . . #cicloviaparchicalabria #calabria #travelnature #bikelife #parcoaspromonte #parcopollino #parcosila #offthebeatentrack #cyclingitaly #bikeblogger #bikeinspirations #italiainbici #solotravel #cyclingnomad #travelblogger #outdoorwomen #narower #cyclinglife #inbici #travelbike #outdoorwomen #journey by bike #outsideisfree #solowomancycling #solopodróż #solotraveller #biketouring #by bike #rowerowapodróż #polskieblogipodróżcze #lifeontheroad

..Want to spend a pleasant relaxing day, enjoying ..Want to spend a pleasant relaxing day, enjoying the peace and beauty that the landscapes of Western Sicily offer? the Marsala cycle path is what you are looking for!.. That's how the typical commercial would start but in this case I would second that. It wasn't even marked on my app (shame mapy.cz) so came with a surprise when I was cycling along the coast from Marsala to Trapani in western Sicily. The Stagnone cycle path is about 8 km long, but as it crosses the evocative landscape of the saline with its windmills, to multicolored tanks and the pretty islands of the Stagnone lagoon is to me one of the most beautiful cycling itineraries in Italy. And in April it was absolutely quiet. If it was a bit later in a year I would add a nice bath in the shallow water of lagoon having tens of flying kite's in view. Go there, especially at sunset! . . . . . #ciclabile #pistaciclabile #marsala #trapani #saline #cicloturismo #cyclingitaly #bikeblogger #goitaly #italiainbici #solotravel #cyclingnomad #travelblogger #outdoorwomen #narower #cyclinglife #travelblog #inbici #outdoor #siciliainbici #travel by bike #solowomancycling #solopodróż #solotraveller #biketouring # by bike #bicyclejourney #onmybike #bicyclethroughtheworld #polishtravelblogs
Guess where was I the previous weekend?!! Yes! Guess where was I the previous weekend?!! Yes! - in Bologna, at the CYCLING TOURISM fair, i.e. Fiera del Cicloturismo! I came there (flew) looking for Italian cycling inspirations, but also the desire to meet people who have a similar passion, take advantage of workshops and lectures. I was very tempted to come here - for myself, but also for you. I don't know if I told you that I want to spend the next few weeks traveling around Italy to create a knowledge base about bicycle routes in this beautiful country? So I say 🙃. By a thousand coincidences I managed to get there and then I got lost seeing the endless options.. I've seen a lot in Italy, I've ridden many routes and beyond, but I didn't expect to see - on paper and virtually - such an offer for two-wheel travel enthusiasts. Each region has several, a dozen, several dozen bicycle routes, of which I want to select the most important ones. I also acquired some practical information that will be useful to Poles. Companies producing bicycles and organizing trips, as well as representatives of several foreign destinations, unfortunately without Poland, were also present at the fair. What's more, probably the most important thing - lots of workshops on every topic you need, lectures, prizes - including separate prizes for women. See at least a little of it in the photos. I would love to have a similar event in Poland! Cycle tourism fair - thank you for a great event. It was worth it! My bicycle and luggage was waiting for me near Marsala in Sicily, from where I went to traverse the island, but more about what happened earlier and later in the next episodes - usually on Ewcyna Facebook though. . . . . . #fieradelcicloturismo #cicloturismo #cyclingitaly #bikeblogger #bikeinspirations #goitaly #italiainbici #solotravel #cyclingnomad #travelblogger #outdoorwomen #narower #cyclinglife #travelblog #inbici #travelbike #outdoor #siciliainbici #journey with a rower #outsideisfree #solowomancycling #solopodróż #solotraveller #biketouring #rowerem #rowerowapodróż #onmybike #rowerowaprzeświat #cicloturismo #polskieblogipodróżcze #lifeontheroad
It's been a month here in Sicily and I still am no It's been a month here in Sicily and I still am not done with the island. Another month in sight. .."The winds will blow however they want" my mother used to say after the weather forecast, and here in Sicily this spring they want to blow strongly and severely. There is no end in sight! .."Hurricane gusts in western Sicily reached over 150 km/h in gusts at the Trapani Biagi airport, where extensive damage occurred" I read the news after a night enriched by a quick rescue operation - adding weight to the tent, strengthening the poles fighting with the wind at midnight. I was relieved that I didn't spend the night somewhere closer to the airport. Then it came the dust from Sahara and covered the sky and my thought completely. The famous panorama of Cefalu during my short visit doesn't look familiar. I wasn't amazed by many things here - too much trash all over, too many wandering dogs - but the people are amazingly friendly, the landscapes diverse, ancient history round every corner. The smell of spring flowers and lemon in the air. The Holy Week traditions add to this unique experience.

This summer, I revisited the scenic Vistula Spit- This summer, I revisited the scenic Vistula Spit- or "Vistula Spit"- in Poland - a slender stretch of land nestled between the Vistula Lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Starting off in Gdansk, I pedaled along the EuroVelo10, the Baltic Sea route, stretching all the way from Germany to the doorstep of Kaliningrad. Here's the twist: opting for the Vistula Spit detour is like choosing the 'adventure' option. Enter the R10 Vistula Spit connector, where the Vistula winks at the Baltic. This is where fun starts. I swapped my bike for a stint on the Swibno-Mikoszewo river ferry, turning a simple crossing into a mini-adventure. The 50 km path is a cyclist's nirvana: secluded, lined with fragrant pine forests, and ripe for berry picking in the summer or mushroom foraging come September. Did both. The sea might play hide and seek, but as you near Krynica Morska, prepare for jaw-dropping views of the Gulf of Gdansk. Foodies, rejoice! The route is dotted with spots to indulge in the freshest, most delectable smoked, marinated, or fried fish – a true seaside treat on two wheels. You pedal right up to the Russian border (because that's as far as you go), and then either spin back or hop onto a ferry from Krynica Morska to Frombork for more two-wheeled wonders. But wait, there's more! Under Poland's "Zanocuj w Lesie" (Camp in the Forest) initiative, you get to camp in designated wild areas within Polish forests, including a spot on the Vistula Spit. My treasured camping site, though challenging to reach (hellos, sandy terrain!), rewards you with a serene night under the stars, accompanied only by the soothing whispers of the waves. Itching to explore more of Poland on two wheels, hop over to my bio for a practical guide to cycling Poland. #R10CyclingRoute #EuroVelo10 #BalticSeaCycling #CyclingAdventures #BikingEurope #cyclingEurope #BalticCoast #BikeTouring #MierzeiaWiślana #RoweremPoPolce @wyprawyrowerowe #polskieblogipodróżcze #BalticCycling #Mierzeja #DiscoverPoland #r10 #NatureAdventure #solowomantraveler # OutdoorExperience #NatureLovers #ExplorePoland #WildCamping #IntoTheWild #BackToNature #ZanocujwLasie # SoloCyclist #WomenWhoCycle #bikeroutes #coastalcycling
