The country tour takes you along the Vistula river to Tyniec, a small town 12km west of Krakow famous for its 11th century Benedictine abbey. Founded in 1044, the abbey played a crucial military role in Poland's Christian restoration and the nation's rebuilding.The tour begins along the Vistula river on a smooth, new bike path and takes you through southern Poland's picturesque countryside. You'll pass through age-old woods, see crumbling forts and cycle past some of the pretty lakes that surround Krakow. Upon arrival at Tyniec, you'll have a chance to amble around the ancient grounds, take photographs of breathtaking scenery and visit the gift shop, which is full of homemade products prepared by the monks.The essence of the tour is a relaxed, scenic country cycle rather than the stop-start nature of the city tour; you'll cover a total of 24km on a ride lasting nearly four and a half hours. The tour departs at 4pm and returns in the evening. A backpack is recommended as it will allow you to transport food, water or gifts back from Tyniec. Keen photographers take note: the country tour will stop at a point overlooking Krakow and is timed to coincide with the sunset.
