Discover Lasówka: cross-country skiing, cycling routes and local history

Lasówka offers several concrete starting points for planning your stay: a winter cross-country ski trail, cycling connections through the village, a described hiking route to the ski stadium, St. Anthony’s Church and historic glassworks remains. First decide whether you want to go cross-country skiing in winter, cycle along named routes or choose a route with different types of surface. Those interested in architecture and local history will also find two clearly identified historical topics.

Cross-country skiing and cycling

The description mentions a five-kilometre cross-country ski trail in Lasówka that is fairly easy and suitable for beginners and families with younger children. Its length and rating offer a concrete guide when choosing a winter activity for your stay. Use depends on snow, and conditions vary by season. Check current conditions before setting out.

A cycling route along the Polish-Czech border passes through Lasówka, continues to Mostowice and Rudawa, and connects with the international cycling route ER 2. The 67-kilometre ER-2B section of the international ER 2 – Szlak Liczyrzepa cycling route between Międzylesie and Ostra Brama in the Czech Republic also passes through Lasówka. The descriptions provide different points of reference for navigation: Mostowice and Rudawa are listed as the next places on the border route, while the ER-2B section is identified by its length and two endpoints. Depending on your plans, you can therefore look for either a sequence of places or a specific section. Check current route conditions before cycling.

A route to the ski stadium

A 2024 municipal tourism report describes a 6.5-kilometre route that starts on a hiking trail near Mostowice and leads to the ski stadium in Lasówka via roads and forest paths. There, it meets the blue hiking trail. Both roads and forest paths form part of the described route; this change in surface is a practical point to consider in addition to the distance. As seasonal conditions can vary, check them before setting out. The distances refer to different activities: five kilometres is given for the cross-country ski trail, and 6.5 kilometres for the route to the ski stadium. Consider each distance together with the type of route rather than comparing the numbers alone.

St. Anthony’s Church and the glassworks

The stone St. Anthony’s Church in Lasówka dates from 1910 to 1912 and is designed in the Neo-Romanesque style. Small remains of a glassworks that had operated there since 1612 have been preserved opposite the church. This gives you two distinct historical topics: the church’s design and construction date, and the history of the glassworks represented by its remains. Their position opposite each other makes the two traces easy to understand as neighbouring points of reference in the village’s history. The two points are far apart chronologically: the glassworks had operated there since 1612, while the church dates from 1910 to 1912. The history of glassmaking thus meets a building from the early 20th century.
