Which cycling route connections are relevant to your trip?
A 16 km right-bank section of the WTR runs between Włocławek and Bobrowniki through several named places, including Polichnowo. The length refers to this section, not to a route within the village. If you are including cycling routes in your trip plans, you can consider Polichnowo’s location along this section as a specific point of reference.
This is separate from the black cycling route connecting Toruń, Osiek, Bobrowniki, Zaduszniki and Dobrzyń n. Wisłą. Polichnowo is marked on this route as a waypoint at kilometre 44.1. This keeps the two cycling route references distinct: one is the 16 km WTR section between two places, while the other marks Polichnowo as a kilometre point on a route connecting several places.
