Pilgrimage Netherlands Częstochowa (Poland) Day 6

Since the original route ran again along the Mittelland Canal and thus became boring, I had this route recalculated by Routeyou. Just before the endpoint, this route also avoids a steep ascent. The route is quite long, but the level of difficulty is lower because the roads are better. Along the way, it goes through Braunschweig. Near the route is the Dankwarderode Castle and other attractions.

This pilgrimage from Eindhoven (Netherlands) to Czestochowa in Poland was recorded here with the help of Google Maps.

In the Netherlands, the found cycling paths are of good quality. In Germany and Poland, the tour goes over service roads and bike paths. The bike paths are often little more than a gravel road. Forest paths are also not avoided. A bike that can take a beating is highly desirable. A solid randonneur will suffice, but for this route, a mountain bike is indeed the best.

On August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption is celebrated widely. Try to be in Czestochowa a few days before this date. You will be amazed at the thousands of pilgrims singing and making music there, so as not to miss the solemn Eucharist.

Conditionally, the tour does not demand much from the cyclist, apart from the partly poor roads.

Where the bike paths run through the city, it is advisable to simply stay on the road, as it often goes from sidewalk to sidewalk in the city.

The cycling tour is a low-budget trip that leads from campsite to campsite in Germany. In Poland, changing campsites and simple B&Bs.

The landscape is not varied, as it follows the 51st latitude. You will pass through many nature reserves that are worth getting out to see.
