Discover Ostrów County

The cycling route is 13 km long. It connects Ostrów Mazowiecka and Brok and runs through pine forests. Other regional themes include the ruins of a former bishop’s palace in Brok, as well as leisure activities for guests and children at the “Dajana” agritourism farm.

The 13 km cycling route connects Ostrów Mazowiecka and Brok. It passes through pine forests. In the wider travel area, the pine forests along the route are remnants of the once-wild and untouched-by-civilization Puszcza Biała. For your travel plans, this route links two named places with a forest landscape; if cycling is your main focus, it provides a specific regional point of reference.

In the wider travel area, only the ruins of the eastern tower of the former palace of the Bishops of Płock remain in Brok. In 1607, Bishop Henryk Firlej had a fortified palace built there, which served as a summer residence for church dignitaries. The term “fortified palace” combines the function of a palace with a defensive character. The historical context therefore covers both its former use as a summer residence and the ruins of the eastern tower that remain today.

The “Dajana” agritourism farm offers its guests kayak trips. Activities for children include a playground, the opportunity to observe birds in the Bug Valley, and fishing. If you are planning a trip with children, you can distinguish these explicitly mentioned activities from the kayak trips offered to guests. This gives you a concrete choice of different leisure activities without grouping them into a single programme.

In the wider destination of Masovia, the Nadbużański Landscape Park spans 21 municipalities. Twelve of them are in the Masovian Voivodeship: Ceranów, Sterdyń, Kosów Lacki, Liw, Łochów, Miedzna, Sadowne, Stoczek, Korytnica, Sabnie, Repki, and partly Korczew. This area spanning several municipalities forms a broader landscape context than a single place. For travel planning, it helps to distinguish this regional scale from the specific examples in Brok or along the cycling route.
