The Nadwarciański Bicycle Trail (257 km) stretches from Poznań to the Jeziorsko Reservoir and is one of the many currently functioning regional cycling trails in the Greater Poland Voivodeship. The trail begins in the capital of Greater Poland, Poznań, and ends at the eastern borders of the voivodeship. It connects a variety of sightseeing, architectural, and, above all, natural attractions located between Poznań and Jeziorsko. For the majority of its length, the trail runs close to the Warta River, offering cyclists views of fields, meadows, willow floodplains, and numerous oxbow lakes.
