Podhale is not only mountains. A brief look at the map will remind us that Podhale is also a vast, flat area of valleys, where a unique ecosystem of peatlands has been formed over thousands of years. The route goes around the western part of the Orawsko-Nowotarska Basin, mostly forestless areas with distant views of peat bogs, but also of the surrounding ranges - Żeleźnica, Gubałowskie, in the background the Tatra Mountains and Babia Góra. The route is easy, scenic and interesting in terms of nature.

We start our trip in Czarny Dunajec. We follow the asphalt bicycle path of the Trail around the Tatra Mountains, then, entering the forest, descend into the gravel, which we will ride another 8 km, We ride through the wet coniferous, secluded forests of the Orava-Podhale border. Cikówka and Bachledówka hide numerous interesting peat bogs that have formed over thousands of years in a wet basin between mountain ranges.

We leave the forests in Orava, on the outskirts of Piekielnik. We cover 150 m on DW957, then turn left into an inconspicuous street. We reach the local road, which we continue towards Odrowąż. The area rises a bit. The next villages - Załuczne and Odrowąż, bring troublesome alternating short ascents and descents. Next to the church in Odrowąż, we turn right and go down to the small hamlet of Zagrody, where the road leads straight between the buildings. We pass DW958, go through Dział, Długopole and along the Czarny Dunajec river through the village of Wróblówka, we reach the convenient trail around the Tatra Mountains and finish our trip.
