Bird Service Cycling
Welcome to Poland and Eastern Europe!
They have been operating on the market continuously since 1990, that is from the fall of the Iron Curtain in Europe. The name "Bird Service" derives from the fact that birdwatching tours were one of their first activities, which continues to this day.
In 2002, we came up with the idea of organizing bicycle trips along the Dunajec route for the first time and they proved to be a great success. In the following years, we expanded our offer and now, we are one of the largest tour operators active in Central Europe. Our logo is a stylized, imaginative bird. Bicycle wheels are incorporated in its figure.

Our proven classic
Poland's most beautiful mountain river Dunajec (pronounced "doonayeats", in Old Polish means "son of the Danube") rises in the High Tatras and flows first through a wide valley, surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges. After that, the stream breaks through the limestone cliffs of the Pieniny Mountains and green Beskids. In this valley we are on paths that are in no way inferior to the beauty of the most famous European riverside cycle paths.
A unique experience is the encounter with authentic and historical folklore, as well as the traditions of the mountaneers living here. The stages are not very long and in addition to the main route there are several ways to make interesting detours. Some sections lead through Slovakia. You will cycle tens of kilometers on asphalt paths, bridges and flyovers built specifically for cyclists. Although the mountains rise around, you can choose the route option almost completely flat, passable for everyone - from small children to retirees.

Moravia is one of three historical territories of the Czech Republic. It lies between Bohemia and Slovakia in the Morava river valley. A cycling route leading to this river valley "Moravska stezka" joins numerous historical cities, palaces, wine towns and beautiful gardens. The route goes through age old riparian forests, past picturesque fish ponds and small ship canals. Traffic routing and signposts along this route are excellent. Moravia, with its bounty of attractions, can easily compare with well known European travel regions.
It is hard to believe that up until now affordable cycling offers were missing. We have now stepped in to fill the void! From Krakow onwards it doesn't take long to get to the Morava valley at Olomouc over the recently completed highway. You can start your cycling holiday here with good beer, wine, style and quality!

According to many of those who take this short tour through the Ponidzie region - it is the best extension of the classic Dunajec-weekly tour. It offers a wonderful contrast to the mountain landscapes: authentic, rural Poland with quiet, flat country roads ideal for cycling.
How can "Ponidzie" best be described? A sparsely inhabited part of the Nida River valley about 70 km northeast of Krakow. This name (spoken "Ponidshyeah") is similar to the Romanian Dobruja - the Danube delta - but not only the names are similar. The Nida also forms a small and marshy inland delta here. The hallmark of Ponidzie is a natural wonder of a different calling - there are about 50 to 100 m high gypsum hills here that are overgrown with unusual steppe vegetation. These include delicate wild blue flax flowers and graceful feather grasses dancing in the wind that are favourite motives of photographers. At Ponidzie you can enjoy natural beauty at its best with no industry in sight and the picturesque villages are connected to one another by a net of small asphalt roads making Ponidzie an attractive area for leisure cyclists. There are also small karst lakes and old gypsum depressions to swim in. Two small spa towns, Busko and Solec have good accommodation facilities and are famous for their mineral water and therapeutic mud.
This cycle tour has been planned so that one can start on the Saturday following the return from either the Dunajec or Sudeten tours as the case may be. This trip is offered only as an individual cycling trip (without a guide). We provide detailed maps and description so that you will have no problem finding the route.

The Małopolska section of the cycling route on the Vistula is a unique construction. Over 100 km of modern bicycle routes were built on the riverside embankments in 2016-17. Nowhere in Poland is long-distance cycling along the river so comfortable and cheerful. Four daily phases are just enough to cover this route, Oświęcim to Szczucin, in a calm pace. We offer outings from Saturday to Thursday every week throughout spring and summer.
People who arrive from afar may wish to extend their bicycle holiday until the next weekend. Here is the perfect suggestion: The first five days of the trip are identical to what was described in the program “The Vistula comfort”. On Thursday, instead of returning to Krakow, we cycle to the nearby Nida river valley. A sunny region for tourists and connoisseurs that is also known for its subtle charm with a variety of idyllic landscapes and a network of asphalt lanes with negligible traffic. In Solec and Busko, we are facing attractions typical throughout fashionable spas.
