Giławy: Cycling Routes, Church and Accommodation

Giławy lies east of Lake Serwent. Two features are particularly relevant for planning a trip: the parish church of St. John the Baptist and several cycling routes that pass through the village or end there.

Church and local connections

The parish church of St. John the Baptist is listed in the register and inventory of historic monuments. If you would like to combine culture and outdoor activities, you can include this heritage site alongside the cycling routes as a second focus in your trip planning.

Cycling routes and their itineraries

The 35-kilometre green-marked Graszk Cycling Route is described as a circular route. It runs from Pasym via Rudziska Pasymskie, Lake Dłużek, Lake Serwent, Graszk, Giławy, Gąsiorowo and Leśniczówka, and then back to Pasym. This means Giławy lies along a loop that starts and ends in Pasym.

The black Cycling Route 35 runs from Olsztyn via Ostrzeszewo, Klebark Mały, Klebark Wielki, Silice, Patryki and Prejłowo to Giławy, and continues to Gąsiorowo and Rusek Wielki. It is considered easy and hilly; the route information also notes that it is marked on site.

The blue Cycling Route 42 runs from Patryki via Purda to Giławy. The route is listed as 13.5 kilometres long, with an estimated travel time of two hours and 15 minutes. It is considered hilly and difficult; here too, the route is described as marked on site.

The routes can be distinguished by their format: the Graszk Cycling Route is a loop that returns to Pasym, while the blue Route 42 leads to Giławy. An estimated travel time is also provided for the blue route. You can take these different details, along with the start and end points, into account when planning.

Both the black Cycling Route 35 and the blue Cycling Route 42 are described as hilly. However, their difficulty ratings differ: the black route is considered easy, while the blue one is considered difficult. Before setting out, check the current route and the markings on site.

Lake Serwent is connected to the village’s location and to the Graszk Cycling Route: Giławy lies east of the lake, which is also named among the stops on this loop. This means you can consider the village’s location and the route together when finding your way.

Places to stay in Giławy

Pod Silosem is an agritourism accommodation on an environmentally oriented farm in Giławy. The accommodation has three apartments. Meadows, forests and lakes can be reached on foot from there. This type of accommodation is distinct from a hotel; if you would also like to consider landscapes within walking distance alongside the cycling routes, this is another point to take into account. Check availability for your travel dates directly with the operators.
