Route no 3 (black)

(length – 15.8km; estimated walking time – 3h)

The walk along this 15.8km route marked with black signs will take us about 3 hours. Having crossed the footbridge over the Reservoir we turn right and climbing the stairs reach the Plater's Palace. We pass the obelisk commemorating the insurgents of January Uprising. After that we pass the Community Centre and reach the road. We turn left and following the dirt path walk along the left bank of the winding Kamienna river. After 500m we reach tarmac surface and we turn right. We walk along the cemetery wall, between buildings, and having crossed the bridge on the Kamienna river we start the climb along Podleśna Street. After several hundred meters the tarmac surface ends. We walk into the forest – this is Suchedniowsko – Oblęgorski Landscape Park. We walk south along the dirt road. After 4.8km from the beginning of the walk we reach the Hell of Dalejów – rocky outcrops overgrown with vegetation. After several hundred metres we turn right at the forest crossroads. This section of the route (about 2.5km) runs through a beautiful forest. The dirt surface, especially after rain, can be problematic. The difficulties will be compensated by the passage through the Hell's Gate – a geological monument. A slab of sandstone is placed on two other slabs, creating a gate. This is a memorable view. We proceed along 'Dalejów' Nature Reserve and reach 'the forest highway', where we turn right. This wide surfaced road is excellent for Nordic walking, as well as for cycling. There we can find the resting point organised by Suchedniów Forestry Inspectorate (benches, tables, bins). Following the route's marks we walk for 1.5km and reach the crossroads. The red route joins us on the right. From now on both routes overlap. After a few kilometres along the dirt road in the forest, the tarmac road in Zbrojów, and along the pavement we reach the Reservoir, finishing our walk. The route is aimed at fit people.
