Borków: Cycling Route, Reservoir and Horse Riding

If you are looking for a hotel in Borków, first consider the purpose of your trip: a cycling route, the main beach by the reservoir, and riding lessons and competitions at Amazonka offer different points of interest. These topics differ considerably for planning purposes. You can assess the cycling route by its distance, riding time excluding sightseeing, and elevation gain; for riding lessons, your choice of time depends on the centre’s opening hours. This will help you decide whether Borków is right for you based on which activity you would like to make the focus of your stay.

Cycling route starting and ending at the reservoir

The “Przez Daleszyckie Lasy” cycling route begins and ends at the car park by the reservoir in Borków. It is 37.8 km long, with a riding time of three hours excluding sightseeing and an elevation gain of 332 metres. Starting and ending at the same car park gives you a clear reference point for the beginning and end of your ride. For planning purposes, the three hours should be understood as riding time only; allow additional time for any sightseeing. These three figures are not interchangeable: distance, riding time alone, and elevation gain each describe a different aspect of the route. In addition to the distance, elevation gain describes the cumulative ascent along the route.

Main beach on the Borków side

The main beach by the reservoir is on the Borków side. For orientation, you can distinguish it from the route car park: the cycling route begins and ends at the car park by the reservoir, while the beach is a separate point located on the Borków side. Both descriptions refer to the reservoir but identify different landmarks.

Riding lessons and competitions at Amazonka

At the Amazonka riding centre, you can book any number of riding lessons at times of your choice, provided they fit within the centre’s opening hours. Confirm booking details and opening hours directly with the operator. Riding competitions are frequently held on the grounds of the Amazonka stud farm. Riding lessons and competitions require different arrangements: for a riding lesson, what matters is your preferred time within the opening hours; if a competition is important to your plans, check its specific date with the stud farm.

Getting there and finding your way around

Borków can be reached by minibuses on the Kielce–Staszów and Kielce–Połaniec routes; the town is also served by MPK Kielce bus no. 201. Routes and services may change, so check the current connection before setting off. The car park by the reservoir, where the cycling route starts and ends, is near a Green Velo cycling service point.

First decide which of these questions is most important for your stay, and use it as the starting point for your search for a hotel in Borków.
