Bicycle tourism

The bicycle tourism has its advantages in comparison with other kinds of tourism. Especially in the Carpathians the bicycle is a very convenient vehicle. For traveler it gives the possibility to overcome big distances with rather high speed, to get acquainted with the region during a short journey, to visit places of interest situated on the considerable distance from each other.

Bicycle trip is a very exciting type of active rest which gives unexpected and sometimes original, exclusive expressions.

The main part of the more difficult trip is conducted in the mountain areas of the Carpathians that demands from the cyclist of good physical preparation, skills in local orientation and overcoming of nature barriers. The difficult sections of earth, field and forest roads and paths, steep mountain roads, passes, long slopes, wades and other nature barriers are typical for routes in the Carpathians.

At present in the Carpathian region there are two bicycle routes.

101 Lviv - Zhovkva (70 km) is a route of local importance in the Lviv region. The way comes through Briukhovychi, Yasnyska, Stradch, Ivano Frankove, Dubrovytsia, Krekhiv, Hlynske. Its code in the List of tourist routes - 20101.
