Kłos: Cycling Routes and History
Accommodation in Kłos
Several routes pass through Kłos, while the village’s history dates back to 1614. This offers various options for planning your trip: a cycling tour on one of the two routes described, a section of the Camino de Santiago, or a look at the village’s historical sites.
Local history through specific milestones
Kłos was first mentioned in 1614. Also in 1614, with the consent of the Koszalin city council and the community, a manor farm belonging to the city was established there. It was called Klusshof, “Stary Kłos” and “Wielki Kłos”. During the Seven Years’ War, Kłos and the manor farm were devastated; the village was resettled in 1764. This sequence gives historical interest a concrete timeframe: from its first mention and establishment, through its destruction, to its resettlement.
Two cycling routes of different lengths
The yellow “Trakt Rybogryfa” cycling route is 23.7 kilometres long and was designed for family cycling trips. It runs from Góra Chełmska through Kłos, Węgorzewo and Policko to Dzierżęcino. The route is described as straight and scenic; it passes along Lake Policko and by an Indian village. The route is designed for family cycling trips.
The blue “Śladami końskich podków” cycling route covers 57.4 kilometres. Its sequence of places is: Skwierzynka, Osieki, Rzepkowo, Iwięcino, Skibno, Kędzierzyn, Kłos, Maszkowo and Węgorzewo. The route is considered to offer numerous natural attractions, historic buildings, monuments and equestrian centres. Compared with the yellow route, it is considerably longer and connects Kłos with an extensive sequence of other places. At 57.4 kilometres, the blue route is more than twice as long as the 23.7-kilometre yellow “Trakt Rybogryfa”.
The Camino de Santiago and finding your way around Kłos
The Sianów section of the Pomorskiego Szlaku Św. Jakuba also begins in Kłos. From there, the stated sequence goes through Sianów, Skibno, Skibienko, Sucha Koszalińska, Kleszcze, Osieki, Rzepkowo and Iwięcino, ending in Bielkowo. Those interested in the pilgrimage route can include Kłos in their travel plans as the starting point of this specifically named section; the places along the route make its course easy to follow.
There are also more detailed directions for the yellow “Trakt Rybogryfa”: cyclists heading towards Sianów turn right after 4.3 kilometres. On the left, they pass a wayside cross in Kłos, which is also passed by the blue hiking trail. There are therefore different points to consider when choosing between the routes: their lengths of 23.7 and 57.4 kilometres, the yellow cycling route’s family-oriented purpose, and the fact that the Camino de Santiago section begins in Kłos. Which route best complements your stay depends on whether you would prefer to focus on a cycling tour or the pilgrimage route.
