With its reservoir, cycling route and Amazonka Equestrian Centre, Borków offers three distinct starting points for planning a trip. The route begins and ends at the car park by the reservoir; the main beach is on the village side of the body of water. There are also riding lessons and frequent competitions on the stud farm grounds. If you are looking for a hotel in Borków, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay: cycling, time by the reservoir or horse riding. The information about the route, location, booking and travel options addresses different planning questions.

Cycling route from the reservoir

The “Przez Daleszyckie Lasy” cycling route is 37.8 kilometres long. The stated time for cycling it without sightseeing is three hours; the route also includes 332 metres of elevation gain. The car park by the reservoir in Borków is both the starting point and the finish. For planning your day, the qualification regarding the time is important: the three hours refer to cycling, not to sightseeing along the route. If you plan to make stops, allow extra time for them; the stated cycling time is therefore not the total time needed for all your plans for the day. The distance, elevation gain and cycling time answer different questions: how far the route goes, how much elevation gain it involves and how long it takes to cycle without sightseeing. This will help you decide whether the ride itself should be the focus of a day or whether to plan other activities separately. A Green Velo bike service point is located near the car park, providing an additional landmark in the start and finish area.

Reservoir and equestrian centre

The main beach by the reservoir is on the Borków side. This is a different reference point for finding your way around the reservoir than the cycling route’s car park: the route is defined by its start and finish points, while the beach is identified by its location on the village side. This distinction can help you decide whether the cycling route or the beach should shape your plans for the day.

At the Amazonka Equestrian Centre, you can book any number of riding lessons for dates of your choice, provided they fit within the centre’s opening hours. For specific plans, confirm booking details and opening hours with the operator. Riding competitions are frequently held on the grounds of the Amazonka stud farm. If a competition is relevant to your travel plans, ask the centre about suitable dates. The two activities differ in how you plan your time: the cycling route is estimated to take three hours to ride without sightseeing, while riding lessons depend on the dates agreed with the centre and its opening hours. If you plan to do both, allow for sightseeing time along the route as well as arranging a time for your riding lesson.

Getting to Borków

There are two types of bus services to consider when planning your journey: Borków can be reached by MPK Kielce bus no. 201; minibuses run on the Kielce–Staszów and Kielce–Połaniec routes. Check which service suits your starting point and travel date. As routes and services may change, confirm the current connection before departure. This will help you coordinate your journey with your accommodation dates and plan your stay around the activities.
