The Północna trasa gminy Kartuzy is a 32.8-kilometre circular route that ends in Łapalice. For much of the way, it runs through forests and farmland. Along the route, it passes several larger lakes, including Rekowo, Łapalickie, Białe, and Sianowskie.

Length is not the only factor to consider when comparing routes. The Zamkowa Trasa Rowerowa starts in Łapalice and reaches the municipal boundary near Rekowo; the Kartuzy–“Złota Góra” section passes through the village; the 32.8-kilometre circular route ends there. You can then choose whether you want your ride to start, pass through, or end in Lapalice.

If you prefer to get around on foot, consider Trasa nr 1 (Łapalice). It follows the shore of Jezioro Rekowskie and reaches Zamek w Łapalicach via a narrow forest path. The route thus combines a lakeside section with a forest path leading to the destination.
