Bike Maraton Duszniki-Zdrój

Get ready for one of the most demanding, wild, and stunning steps of the entire cycle! Bike Maraton Duszniki-Zdrój is a race that has firmly carved its place on the calendar as a real fitness test in the mountains. The playing field here is exceptional: the route departs from the charming spa town and heads straight into the wild, steep, and incredibly atmospheric zones of the Bystrzyckie Mountains and the Orlickie Mountains.

And after the effort? Time to recover!

Duszniki-Zdrój Thermal Park : The perfect place to unwind after the race. A stroll along tree-lined avenues, a visit to the Chopin Manor, and a glance at the colorful fountain will gently ease your muscles out of the shock of the start 🌳⛲.

Mineral Water Station : After such a tough race, your body needs immediate remineralization. Head to the thermal stand and taste the local therapeutic waters, like “Peniawa Chopina” or “Jan Kazimierz” — a natural isotonic from the Sudetes! 🥛

Paper Mill Museum : A true architectural and historical gem on a national scale (housed in a 17th-century paper mill). If you still have the energy for a short stroll, seeing how paper was made in the old days is a great idea for an afternoon culture fix 📜.

Refuge “Pod Muflonem” and Jagodna : If you rode the Mega or Giga distance, the Bystrzyckie Mountains have surely taken their toll. After the event, it’s worth returning as a tourist—the view from Pod Muflonem’s terrace overlooking Duszniki is simply spectacular, and the famous blueberry fritters at Jagodna Refuge (a little further in the Bystrzycky Mountains) are a legendary carb boost 🥞🍇.

Sudeten Feast: After burning thousands of calories in the mountains, you’ve earned a proper meal. The local Sudeten trout (fried or herbed-baked), with crispy fries and a selection of raw vegetables, taste like the region’s finest refined dishes in nearby inns 🐟🍟.

Bike Maraton Duszniki-Zdrój embodies the essence of Sudeten MTB. A race that demands humility before the mountains, but which, at the finish, pays you back a hundredfold with incredible satisfaction and the pride of having tamed one of Poland’s toughest courses… ✨ Take on the challenge in the heart of Duszniki! 🏁🏔️
