BIESZCZADY BICYCLE DRAISINES

Do you like to spend your time actively in a beautiful natural setting? If so, this Bieszczady attraction is perfect for you. The beautiful route of the railroad line No. 108 leading from Zagórz to Krościenko, built in 1872, can be traversed in a bicycle draisine. Poland's largest touristic bicycle draisine rental facility is located in Uherce Mineralne.

Draisines are powered by the muscles of its passengers, which is similar to riding a bicycle. Each draisine is constructed in the same way. The base consists of a platform measuring 2.2 x 1.75 meters. Two people set the mechanism in motion. It includes a two-person bench on the back, and a basket for luggage at the front.
