Guzowy Piec: Three routes through the village
Accommodation in Guzowy Piec
The Black Cycling Route, the fourth stage of the Way of St. James and a red route all pass through Guzowy Piec. They give you three concrete points of reference for planning your trip: a circular route starting and ending in Biesal, a stage from Gietrzwałd to Parwółki, and an 84.3-kilometre route starting and ending in Olsztyn. Guzowy Piec lies along each of these routes. Which route is of interest for your plans therefore depends first on whether you are considering a circular route or a stage connecting two places.
Routes through Guzowy Piec
The Black Cycling Route is 15.6 km long and runs from Biesal via Tomaryny, Śródka, Guzowy Piec, Salminek and Jadaminy, then back to Biesal. Guzowy Piec lies between Śródka and Salminek. Biesal is both the starting point and the return point; the village itself is one stop along the circular route.
The fourth stage of the Way of St. James runs from Gietrzwałd via Łajsy, Pęglity and Śródka, through Guzowy Piec, to Parwółki. In this direction, the village lies between Śródka and Parwółki. If you plan to take this stage, check the route markings on site before relying on the route. With Gietrzwałd as the starting point and Parwółki as the destination, it can be considered a connection between two places.
At 84.3 km, the red route is significantly longer than the Black Cycling Route. It runs from Olsztyn via Gronity, Naterki, Sząbruk, Unieszewo, Makruty, Guzowy Młyn, Guzowy Piec, Parwółki, Stare Jabłonki, Kątno, Plichta, Dąg, Wynki, Worliny, Woryty, Gietrzwałd, Łajsy, Unieszewo Kolonia, Kudypy, Łupstych and Gutkowo, then back to Olsztyn. Along the route, Guzowy Piec lies between Guzowy Młyn and Parwółki. Olsztyn is both the starting point and the return point.
To choose between them, you can compare the route types: the 15.6 km circular route from Biesal, the stage between Gietrzwałd and Parwółki, and the 84.3 km route from Olsztyn. This way, both the length and the respective starting points and destinations can inform your plans.
A specific local connection
On the edge of the forest, the “Osada Warmińska” conference centre was established in a former school building. This history of the building adds another concrete local connection to the routes: a former school building was given a new use as a conference centre. For travellers who also want to take local history into account when choosing a destination, this story offers an additional point of interest.
