The Małopolska section of the Vistula Cycle Route starts in Jawiszowice. Heading westwards, you will get to Silesia; in the opposite direction
you will get to Cracow and then you can reach the border of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship.

You can arrive in Oświęcim or Jawiszowice travelling by train from Cracow or Katowice. The WTR section near Oświęcim is characterised by slight elevations of the terrain and runs along roads partly separated from vehicle traffic or along public roads with low traffic intensity (a short section has gravel surface and leads across the pond area in Brzeszcze). 

Make sure you have your own provisions, because the majority of this section, is remote from built-up areas; only Oświęcim has substantial catering and accommodation facilities.

Sights worth seeing:

• Ponds in Brzeszcze - Natura 2000 site with special protection guaranteed to rare bird species, e.g.: night herons, ferruginous ducks, red-crested pochards, and whiskered terns
• The Old Town in Oświęcim

The town of Oświęcim has a unique collection of monumental murals in various areas of the town. Most of them are themed around the promotion of peace, breaking barriers and cultural stereotypes, and spreading the spirit of tolerance.
