Jugowska Pass from Pieszyce

A great climb, one of the longest in Poland, thirteen kilometres long, over 500 metres of elevation gain. Very good road surface. We start in Pieszyce and climb upwards. We pass through picturesque Kamionki and at the end of the village there is a spectacular serpentine and after a while a great viewpoint. Further on, we enter the forest and views only occasionally pierce through the trees. It's very fun to ride up, as the gradient is very even and relatively small, only about 5-6％. The road is very winding, lots of serpentines. After about 5 kilometres in the forest, we enter a pass where there is a trail junction and a ski lift. There are no distant views on the pass itself. It is possible to go higher, even to the summit of Wielka Sowa 1015 m.a.s.l., but this is only by mtb bike. You can descend along the same road - a long phenomenal descent, or go down the other side of the mountains to Jugów and Nowa Ruda.
