- What activities should be planned during spring break in Zieleniec
- Why the microclimate of Zelenec has a beneficial effect on health and recovery
- What makes Zieleniec an ideal place for families, athletes and nature lovers
As the last patches of snow disappear from the mountain slopes, and temperatures increasingly exceed 10 degrees Celsius, Zieleniec wakes up to the summer season. Spring in these places is synonymous with tranquility, stunning nature and many possibilities. From walks on forest trails, to bike escapades, to family activities such as disc golf or roller coaster rides, there is something for everyone.
However, one of the most valuable assets of Zelenec is its unique microclimate. Close to alpine, formed by a specific pressure system of air masses and mountainous terrain, it has a beneficial effect on the body. Staying here stimulates the production of red blood cells, improves oxygenation, supports regeneration and strengthens immunity. That is why many tourists declare that after staying in Zieleniec they feel clearly rested and relaxed. Every walk, sleep or physical activity takes on extra importance. Zieleniec's microclimate is a natural therapy that works subtly but effectively.The issue of microclimate and its beneficial effect on the human body is described in detail by Prof. Marek Zatoń from the Wrocław AWF in a podcast, which you can listen to at this link.
Cycling through the ranges and valleys
Spring in Zieleniec is the time when bicycles leave the cellars and go on the road. Not by themselves, of course. And there is no shortage of places to ride. For road cycling enthusiasts, we recommend the route Zieleniec — Duszniki — Zieleniec. We will remind you that two years ago the cyclists of the Tour de Pologne rode here! We must not forget Family Bike Park on the slopes of Nartorama and Gryglówka. It includes 5 routes with a total length of almost 12 km. It is an ideal place for families with children, beginners as well as more advanced riders. The cable cars open on weekends (Saturday-Sunday, from 10:00 to 17:00) allow comfortable transport to the beginning of the route.
Trails, views and wildlife
Hiking enthusiasts should plan a walk towards the Orlice and Bystrica Mountains. Gentle ridges, wide ducks and quiet, wild nature are ideal conditions for family trips or peaceful contemplation of nature. One of the must-see points is the observation tower on Orlice, from which you can see a panorama from the Jeseniks to the Giant Mountains. It is also worth taking a look at the peat bogs near Zieleniec or visiting the ruins of Fort Fryderyk and Fort Wilhelm. This is not only an excursion into nature, but also into the past of the region. The peace that reigns in these mountains is a value in itself — increasingly difficult to find in the modern world.
Mountain running and walking for health
Zieleniec and its surroundings are also an excellent arena for runners. The variety of terrain, numerous elevations, paths and viewpoints create ideal conditions for trail training. Regardless of the weather, any time of the year promotes activity, and an injection of endorphins in combination with a healing microclimate brings not only a better form, but also a better well-being.
Mountain running is becoming more and more popular, and Zieleniec is a natural preparation base for participation in local and national competitions. Safe routes, proximity to nature and clean air make this area an ideal place to develop passions.During the period of May on weekends (Saturday - Sunday), hiking and cycling tourists can also use one of the two cable cars.
Family and casual: disc golf
Not only sports enthusiasts will find something for themselves in Zieleniec. A great attraction for families with children and groups of friends is the 9-hole disc golf course - a discipline that combines the precision of a throw with a recreational walk. It is a non-invasive form of activity, which at the same time provides fun and allows you to enjoy the surroundings. It is worth adding that high-ranking competitions will soon be held in Zieleniec (29 May - 1 June). You can read about all the details of the disc golf competition on our site.
Tastes and rest in the heart of the mountains
After an eventful day, it's time to recover. Zieleniec offers a rich accommodation base — from intimate guesthouses to family hotels with views of the slopes and mountain panoramas. Many of them are located directly on the hiking or cycling routes.
Equally important is the kitchen. locale Restaurants and bars offer regional specialties and dishes of Polish and European cuisine. Relaxed, with the body warmed up by the heat of the day, you can immerse yourself in the flavors and smells of the mountain town.
Zieleniec is not only a destination in itself, but also an excellent starting point for exploring the entire Kłodzko Region. Duszniki-Zdrój, Polanica, Kudowa, Bystrzyca or Ladek-Zdrój — all are within a short drive. It is also worth planning one of the days to conquer the peaks of the Crown of Polish Mountains, which are located in the area (Orlica, Jagodna, Szczeliniec Wielki).
Pack your bike, your hiking boots, and a good mood — and let yourself be convinced that the best things happen when the snow disappears and the Green Tree comes to life.
