Łazy Wielkie lies on the western slopes of the Krośnice Hills and is the destination of a green cycling route. The village landscape also includes a burial mound cemetery from the Early Bronze Age and a historic rural settlement layout. These different highlights give you concrete points to consider when choosing a destination for cycling, scenery and history.

Cycling the “Na Gęślicę” route

The green “Na Gęślicę” cycling route runs for 15 kilometres from Krośnice via Dziewiętlin and Gęślica Hill to Łazy Wielkie. The route is considered the shortest connection from Krośnice to Gęślica and onward to Łazy Wielkie. The named sequence of places helps you find your way along the route. The 15 kilometres indicate the distance; for your own planning, you can also take your pace and breaks into account.

In Łazy Wielkie, the route description mentions the “Przystanek Przyroda” cyclist rest area. It was set up in 2012 by the historic fire station and has a grill, benches and tables. Check which facilities are currently available before setting out. Another rest area is located at nearby Gęślica. This gives you two distinct points of reference: the cyclist rest area in the village and a rest area on the hill.

Bronze Age burial mound cemetery

The Łazy Wielkie burial mound cemetery is designated site 7 and dates to 1500–1300 BC, in the Early Bronze Age. It covers approximately one hectare and includes several earthen mounds; four are most clearly visible in the landscape. The four especially visible mounds provide a specific focus, while the site as a whole comprises several mounds.

The historic rural settlement layout is also part of the village’s character: it is included in a B heritage-protection zone. In addition, Łazy Wielkie has a church dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. You will therefore find different cultural points of interest here: the Bronze Age site, the protected historic settlement layout and a church with its own dedication.

Scenery and orientation

Its location on the western slopes of the Krośnice Hills describes Łazy Wielkie’s landscape setting. Nearby Gęślica is the highest point in the Krośnice Hills, at 242 metres above sea level, and has a rest area. The cycling route passes over Gęślica Hill on its way to Łazy Wielkie. This lets you connect the route with a specific elevation reference without conflating the two rest areas: one is set up by the historic fire station in the village, while the other is located at Gęślica.
