Adventure Cycling is about the bike and nature, to which we owe everything. We want to pay her back at least a little and give something back.
To produce one T-shirt, you need to use 2,000 liters of water. Together with you, we want to keep this water in nature and actively support selected projects. Just select "Free Rivers" when registering, and the amount we would spend on the production of T-shirts will be allocated to river restoration. Not only will we not waste a huge amount of water, but we will actively help keep it in nature - that's where it is most needed.
Our conscious choices matter and are important for nature.
That’s how we marked the route. After covering over 2500 kilometers along both banks of the river, from its springs underneath Barania Góra Mt. all the way to its estuary in Gdańsk, we chose the parts which best show its might and beauty.
The route leads through roads, paths, rubbles and dikes. Riding along busy roads is limited to absolute minimum, to provide safety and comfort of being in touch with the nature and history, which you will not find in any other place in Europe. On your way, you will pass broad old river-beds and flowage’s full of wild birds, sand dunes and sand bars, climatic villages where time seems to have stopped. RMW1200 is not only Krakow, Warsaw, Torun and Gdansk. We will amaze you with beauty and peculiarity of Janowiec, Sandomierz, Zawichost, Plock, Dobrzyn, Chełmno, Swiecie, Grudziac and Gniew and between them- cyclists strive and overcoming your own weaknesses.
