Route description:

The route runs across Żuławy Malborskie. It is mainly a plain area situated in the delta of the Wisła river. It has been heavily influenced and transformed by human activities. The bank of the Wisła borders this area from the west, the edge of Iławskie Lakeland - from the south (along the Nogat river) and the High Plain of Elbląg from the east. Once there used to be swamps and floods which have been drained since the Middle Ages. The flat region of Żuławy has its own characteristic features and unique charm. Marek Opitz, a famous photographer of Żuławy, has entitled one of his albums “A Landscape for Connoisseurs.” This landscape is enriched by the characteristic rows of willow trees (willows function as natural pumps because they evaporate considerable amounts of water from the ground through their root system and leaves), the lines of the drainage canals and well-preserved medieval arrangement of roads and buildings.

Heritage monuments of Malbork and Nowy Staw (the former capital of Żuławy) deserve special attention. The Mennonite cemetery in Stogi is the biggest one in the region of Żuławy and undoubtedly it is worth visiting. The gothic churches in Miłoradz, Lichnowy, Lisewo Malborskie and Mątowy Wielkie must be visited as well. Considering these significant monuments of our cultural heritage which can be seen along this route, it seems to be one of the most fascinating bicycle routes in the Pomorskie region.
