Wadowice Trails – something for everyone

The Wadowice Trails complex on Jaroszowicka Góra was designed with cyclists of all skill levels in mind. In addition to a dedicated uphill route, there are four downhill routes – from an easy, family-friendly path to a challenging route for experts.

PARKING

Those planning to visit Wadowice Trails can use the designated parking lot located near Jaroszowicka Góra. This is the most convenient spot for cyclists arriving by car, serving as a starting point for the trail complex.

Organizers ask that you park according to the applicable signage and respect residents and other users of the area. After leaving your vehicle, you must continue to the trails by bike, so it's recommended to prepare your equipment properly at the parking lot.

Due to the proximity of forest areas, we especially ask you to maintain order, avoid leaving waste, and follow local traffic and parking regulations. Our shared concern for the environment will allow all users to enjoy this new cycling attraction for many years to come.

TRAILS

Powsinoga – Uphill Route

This is the basic route, providing a safe and comfortable access to the summit of the complex. Thanks to its moderate incline, it allows you to reach the beginning of all the downhill routes. Powsinoga winds along the western slopes of Jaroszowicka Góra, winding its way to the very summit.

Technical parameters:
Length: 2800 m
Average gradient: 7.1%
Elevation difference: 200 m

Fun fact: The inspiration for the route's name was the volume of ballads "Powsinogi Beskidzkie" by Emil Zegadłowicz – a writer and poet associated with the Wadowice region who grew up in Gorzeń Górny.

 

Kremówa – Blue Trail for Intermediate Riders

The blue line was designed for cyclists with basic off-road riding experience. The trail features a paved and even surface, allowing you to develop your singletrack riding skills in controlled conditions.

Technical Specifications:
Difficulty level: Intermediate (blue)
Length: 2,450 m
Average gradient: 8.2%
Elevation difference: 200 m
Surface: Paved, even

 

Lolek – Green Trail for Beginners

The upper section of this trail descends very gently, is smooth, and very safe – it's suitable for virtually anyone who has ever ridden off-road. The lower section has a slightly steeper gradient and a few interesting features. Technical elements include: "Rollers," usually double (you can ride them while learning to "pump" or jump over them), and in the lower section there are also larger berms (helping you lean on them in turns) and two tables (you can also jump over them or ride over them).

This is the name of a certain boy who was very important to Wadowice and... the world. Kids and beginners are also incredibly important to mountain biking, and this route is perfect for them, because this is where it all begins!

Technical parameters:
Difficulty level: beginner (green)
Length: 1100 m
Average gradient: 5.4%
Elevation difference: 60 m
Surface: paved, even

Wilcze Łyko – red route for advanced riders

This is a classic enduro – moments of fast flow alternate with technical sections. Roots, bumps, and variable pace mean you need to stay alert. The trail owes its name to a plant hidden in the recesses of the forest, which is beautiful, but also dangerous and poisonous.

It was once believed that its presence repels evil spirits, but also warns the unwary. This trail is no different—though it seems tempting at first glance, it quickly reveals its demanding side, inspiring respect and admiration. This trail is for those who enjoy a ride with a touch of wildness and a respect for nature.

Technical parameters:
Difficulty level: advanced (red)
Length: 2150 m
Average gradient: 12.3%
Elevation difference: 265 m
Surface: natural, uneven

Czarci Jar – black trail for experts

It leads through a natural gorge, wild, inaccessible, and awe-inspiring. The upper part of the route, in a beech forest, offers a moment of respite, but lower down it quickly transforms into a dense, darker coniferous forest, gaining in character with each obstacle overcome.

The route begins with a significant "road gap," requiring full downhill speed. Then, after a very smooth section, there are two large jumps in a row ("on-off"). Then there's a pleasant plunge into a deep ravine and a bridge crossing. Then, a narrow climb between trees, and the final section is once again fast and airy (two large jumps, the first one more difficult, at an angle). This is a route with character – rugged, demanding, and memorable.

Fun fact: The route's name was inspired by both its character and the literary and artistic magazine "Czartak," co-founded by Emil Zegadłowicz.

Technical parameters:
Difficulty level: expert (black)
Length: 1150 m
Average gradient: 16%
Elevation difference: 185 m
Surface: natural, uneven

Before your first visit, it's worth checking out the Wadowice Trails website, which features detailed descriptions of all trails, course maps, elevation profiles, site regulations, and key user information. This practical compendium of knowledge allows you to prepare for your ride and choose a route appropriate for your skill level. A completely new space for active recreation opens up for cyclists. We hope that Jaroszowicka Góra will soon become one of the most frequently visited cycling destinations in Małopolska.
