Journalist Mary Lussiana came cycling in Poland with us this spring, enjoying a slow ride through the rolling hills and wildflower meadows of Lower Silesia. Here is an excerpt from her Country and Town House article.
“We bicycled along the River Bóbr, down gravel tracks and forest paths, on tiny lanes covered by arching avenues of lime trees. We passed endless fields of barley and rye, scattered with red poppies and deep-blue cornflowers, over which birds of prey, buffeted by the warm wind, hovered looking for food. One day we had lunch in a local winery, a table set up among the vines under a blue sky with cow and goat cheeses from the neighbouring farms. Another day in an old farmhouse, painstakingly restored by a young couple who got out their homemade elderflower nalewka at the end of lunch, to power us through the afternoon. Although many of us, I am sure, reached for the ‘turbo’ button that day on our sleek e-bikes.”
