Nearby is the “Enduro Trails – Bielsko-Biała” complex, a network of downhill bicycle routes, the so-called “singletracks”. These are the most liked by mountain bikers, narrow, winding and undulating paths with varying degrees of difficulty, from the easier, gently sloping ones to steep, demanding descents.
The center of the paths together with the information point is located within the so-called urban Błonia, at the foot of Kozia Góra. The routes stretch between Szyndzielnia and Kozia Góra (in the Klimczok massif).
Winter season
Winter attracts a lot of tourists to the Beskids. This is facilitated by the rich ski infrastructure. The Dębowiec ski lift (Bielsko-Biała, ul. Karbowa 55) operates near Bystra. It is a modern, 600-metre-long, 4-seater chairlift. In the winter season, Dębowiec is a skiing training route, a snow-covered, groomed and illuminated slope and a snow park.
The best ski conditions and the most diverse routes can be found, of course, in Szczyrk (approx. 11 km from the house, depending on the selected lift).
