High slope sectionsA short and very easy trail leading along the San River valley between Krzeszów and Kuryłówka. The trail is 20 km long and runs along its entire course on well-paved asphalt roads with little vehicle traffic. The well-signposted and interesting historic monuments along the trail and its relative ease make it a fun trail even for families with children. The name of the trail comes from the different religious sites located on it belonging to the four leading religious traditions prevalent in historical Poland; three branches of Christianity – Catholic, Orthodox, and Uniate (the Greek-Catholic faith), as well as Jewish traditions.
The general route of the trail is as follows: Krzeszów (0.0 km) - Bystre (4.0 km) - Kulno (16.6 km) - Kuryłówka (x km). Near the trail is the city of Leżajsk, famous for its historical monuments and one of the most interesting places for tourists in the San River valley.
The trail starts in the small town of Krzeszów. This town located on the rafting trail, from the 17th century until the First World War was an important commercial centre of the area. The most important monument in the town of Krzeszów is a wooden, three-nave church, dating back to 1727-1728, renovated in the 19th century. At this temple located on the high escarpment, the bike trail starts. The town of Krzeszów is known as the largest centre of the tradition of frying plum jam in Poland. Every year, in September, an event called Powidlaki (Plum Jam Frying Event) is organized. During the event, cooking courses, educational classes and the auctions of best traditional plum products are organized. In the town of Krzeszów, the Jewish cemetery has survived until today. These two monuments are mementos of the first two of four cultures that are presented to us by the trail. The trail continues running from Krzeszów to the village of Bystre. Here, on the so-called Komarowa Mountain, there is the “Revelation” spring considered to be miraculous. It is worth leaving the trail for a while to see this place. Further along, the route runs through the Bystre, Sigielka and Łazów villages along a good asphalt road. This layout of the village is called the "street", since all the houses are located along the high street. Many old wooden huts, even over 100 years old, have survived here. To the east, the valley is surrounded by vast forests, rich in mushroom and undergrowth. At the edge of the forest, in the village of Kulno, there is another interesting sight on the trail. It is a historic Orthodox church. From the village of Kulno it’s not far to the municipal village of Kuryłówka, where the trail ends. You can see another temple, this time belonging to the fourth religion - a Uniate Orthodox, or Greek Catholic church. The local trail runs to the Ożanna artificial lake, which is nearby. It is approximately 4 km away from the centre of the village. It is a good destination for the entire trip, because it allows you to relax by the water. The route can be extended in the form of a loop, running partly along the Green Velo trail, from the village of Kuryłówka to the town of Leżajsk and back to the locality of Krzeszów. Such a trip is approximately 50 km long. It is within the range of the average cyclist during a one-day trip, due to the flat area and good roads that run on both routes in this area. Such a trip, along with visiting monuments along the way, will certainly take a whole long day. It will be a very nice bicycle tour, allowing you to see many interesting monuments.
