Last Saturday, we set off with our bikes to Gniew. It was supposed to be a leisurely bike ride through the picturesque hills near the Vistula River valley. However, as we entered the town, it turned out that we were in for something special. Preparations were underway in the market square for an evening event. We had stumbled upon Dni Gniewu - a boisterous festival that attracts crowds of tourists every year.

This picturesque section of the route runs along the Vistula River and over the surrounding hills, offering beautiful views of the Vistula Valley. The entire route stretches almost 2000 kilometers, connecting the Baltic Sea with the Adriatic Sea. We parked our car near the market square in Gniew, and after a brief tour of the city center and the castle, we set off from the square following the route signs southwards.
