Hi all, I'm new in the forums!

I was looking for some nature/country side area to do something in my spare time.

Are there some interesting trekking routes close to Warsaw? Or at least not too far way...

Thanks!

I would advice you for example Kampinoski National Park just at the north-western borders of Warsaw.
You can easily reach it with city buses starting at MÅ‚ociny subway station. I advice bus 708 towards Truskaw which is a nice village inside the National Park. From the bus stop there you can start a walk following different tracks (You cannot walk outside the marked tracks inside the National Park). The paths will lead you through forests (mainly pine and alder) and meadows. Nothing astonishing but quite a nice landscape especially when the weather is nice. Now you can use there cross-country skies.

Real trekking tracks when you can walk for a few days with tent etc. throught quite wild areas you will find in Poland only in the moutains especially Bieszczady or Beskid Niski...

Regards

Lukasz

Welcome,

For tomorrow you can take the metro to the last stop KABATY. When you come up, you will see the TESCO supermaket. Head towards it, south, pass it on your left and keep going. Follow people and bikers heading in the southerly direction. Hike S, S-E. Get a city map at a news stand a locate Las(Forest) Kabacki.

This is just a good start for a quick walk out of the city.

For a longer and proper hiking, take a look at Kampinos National Park:

Oh, I see Lukasz got the transport figured out.

Hi,

Many thanks! Although I said trekking I meant hikking :), something not too far which can be done in one day. For now, those place seem to be enough for some nice walks.

Thanks again for the info!
