Borków: Reservoir, Cycling Route and Amazonka Equestrian Centre
Accommodation in Borków
Borków can be explored through three different travel interests: the reservoir and its main beach on the village side, the “Przez Daleszyckie Lasy” cycling route, and the Amazonka Equestrian Centre. There are also bus connections to Borków. When choosing your destination, you can weigh up whether cycling, the reservoir or horse riding should be the focus of your stay.
Cycling route starting and ending at the reservoir
The “Przez Daleszyckie Lasy” cycling route starts and ends at the car park by the reservoir in Borków. The car park is therefore a specific point of reference for setting off and returning; a Green Velo bicycle service point is nearby.
The route is 37.8 kilometres long; the riding time without sightseeing is three hours, with 332 metres of elevation gain. These figures answer different questions: the distance gives the route length, the elevation gain adds information about the route profile, and the time refers specifically to riding without sightseeing. If you plan to stop along the way, you should therefore not equate the three hours with the total duration of the outing. For your schedule, you can treat the ride itself as a separate element and allow additional time for sightseeing.
Since the route starts and ends at the same car park, you can plan to set off from and return to this point. The stated riding time applies only to riding without sightseeing; planned stops add to the riding time itself.
Main beach by the reservoir
The main beach by the reservoir is on the Borków village side. This makes the reservoir another point of interest when choosing where to go, alongside the cycling route. If the beach is one reason you are considering Borków, you can include it as a separate part of your plans alongside the cycling route.
Riding lessons and competitions at Amazonka
At the Amazonka Equestrian Centre, you can book any number of riding lessons on dates of your choice, provided the dates fit the centre’s opening hours. Check booking details and opening hours directly with the operator before planning a specific day for riding.
Riding competitions are frequently held on the grounds of the Amazonka stud farm. Riding lessons and competitions offer different options for a stay involving equestrian activities: for lessons, choose a time within the opening hours; if a competition date matters for your travel plans, check the event dates in advance.
Getting there and planning your day
Borków can be reached by minibus on the Kielce–Staszów and Kielce–Połaniec routes. The village can also be reached by MPK Kielce bus no. 201. Check the current service before travelling, as routes and timetables can change. The bus information concerns travel to Borków; the cycling route starts and ends at the car park by the reservoir.
There are several time markers to consider when planning your day: the cycling route’s riding time without sightseeing, riding lessons within the opening hours, and competitions held frequently. Allow extra time for stops in addition to the riding time itself, and arrange a riding lesson with the centre. If a competition date is relevant to your trip, check it in advance.
