"The best of Green Velo" is a bicycle trip on a section of the "Green Velo" route. The Green Velo Eastern Bicycle Trail is the most spectacular cycling project carried out in Poland so far. This is over 2,000 km of a specially designated route that leads through five voivodeships of eastern Poland. We chose the best part for a week-long trip in terms of landscape attractiveness and numerous monuments that constitute an important part of Polish cultural heritage.
The fragment we chose was marked out between Chełm and the Wigry National Park and is approximately 670 km long, so we cover an average of approximately 110 km every day. Naturally, during the ride we will take numerous breaks and visit interesting places. However, for people who do not feel able to cover such a distance on a traditional bike, we offer electric bikes. Additionally, throughout the entire route we have the support of a "technical vehicle" that drives around the area carrying luggage and helps if necessary.
This means you have complete traveling comfort at all times, so you can focus on what is most important. You enjoy the views and delicious eastern cuisine and proudly reach new places. There are numerous monuments among them, including: the monastery complex in Supraśl, the former Jewish town of Tykocin, the cities of Chełm and Włodawa known for their multicultural heritage, the Bug River sanctuaries of various denominations in Kostomłoty, Kodeń and Jabłeczna. Captivating encounters with nature are provided by landscape parks, nature reserves, national parks: Białowieski, Narwiński, Biebrzański and Wigierski; rivers, among others: Bug, Narew, Biebrza, Czarna Hańcza and lakes including the Suwałki Lake District.
