Krzywin
Accommodation in Krzywin
Krzywin combines a Gothic church building with two cycling routes of different lengths and a location that is partly within two Natura 2000 protected areas. This gives you cultural, active and nature-related points of interest to consider when planning your trip, which you can weigh according to your own interests.

What makes the church in Krzywin distinctive?
The parish church of pw. Niepokalanego Serca NMP was built from fieldstone and brick in the 15th century. It has a quadrangular plan, and its wooden tower is incorporated into the body of the nave. These features give the building a clearly identifiable architectural form that differs from the usual image of a freestanding church tower.
Several details from different periods are known from the church: its decorative tracery gable dates from the 16th century, and its bell from 1937. A 3.5-metre-tall sculpture of Pope John Paul II also stands in front of the entrance. It was created by Aleksander Fatiga from Krzywin. The architecture, gable, bell and sculpture offer different points of interest for those interested in the area's cultural heritage.
How do the cycling routes compare?
The two routes described here differ first of all in length and course. The blue Południowy Szlak Łącznikowy is 8.95 km long. It runs from Ognica via Rynica to Krzywin railway station and includes both paved and unpaved roads. If you take road surfaces into account when choosing your route, this change is a specific planning consideration.
At 19.0 km, the black Banie–Baniewice–Żelechowo–Krzywin cycling route is considerably longer. It ends in Krzywin, where it meets the blue “Południowy” cycling route of the Gmina Widuchowa. Its length and endpoint can help you compare routes by their stated distances. No information about the surface is provided here for the black route; for the blue route, the transition between paved and unpaved roads is explicitly described.
