Stretching between Częstochowa and Kraków, this route threads open limestone hills, castle-topped ridges, farm lanes, and shady woods, without demanding mountain gear. June and September bring long daylight, warm days, and generally reliable surfaces, with passing showers or an occasional storm along the limestone ridges. Summer leans hotter with afternoon downpours, early autumn turns milder as daylight contracts, spring swings between chilly grey spells and warm sunshine with thaw-mud underfoot, and winter alternates snow and rain with very short days and sometimes icy rock.
