Singletrack Glacensis threads hand-built trails through the forests of the Kłodzko Land, from the spa towns of Polanica and Duszniki to Bystrzyca Kłodzka and the slopes above Międzygórze. It is one of the longest trail networks in Central Europe, built for flowing, natural riding rather than bike-park jumps.
In season: Apr–Oct · Peak: May–Sep
Waymarked loops of flowing forest singletrack, mostly moderate with steeper lines on the Śnieżnik side, and quiet trails well away from the crowds. Good for several days of different loops from one base.
Short ride out of the town under the ramparts
The busiest section, flowing singletrack between two spa towns
Longer and quieter, the best riding in the valley
Steepest lines on the Śnieżnik side
Base in Polanica-Zdrój, Duszniki-Zdrój or Bystrzyca Kłodzka and pick up the trail maps. Start on the busy Polanica and Duszniki loops, then ride the quieter Bystrzyca network and the Międzygórze descents.
