Mount Donas - Orlowo - St. Maximilian Hill.

We start from the parking lot on Morska Street at the level of Gdynia Główna station. We go up Wolności Street where at the end of it we turn left and enter the forest. now we stick to the blue bicycle trail and the main road and go in the direction of Chwarzno. We cross Chwarznieńska Street and continue to follow the blue bicycle trail. At the next two forks we turn right and reach the crossing under the ring road. Behind the crossing we turn left and, keeping to the yellow pedestrian trail, we reach Wiczlinska Street, which we cross and continue on the yellow trail. Then we have to cross a makeshift bridge over the Ducha River and we leave for the outskirts of the Dabrowa district. We continue on...Sand roads sticking to the yellow trail to Mount Donas. On the way we pass a cemetery probably from World War II. After passing the cemetery, it's a few hundred meters to the summit. At the top of Mount Donas there is an observation and telecommunications tower. Admission to the tower is free. From the summit we go down the wide road to Miętowa Street then to Nowowiczlińska Street, Chwaszczyńska Street and continue along Wielkopolska Street in the direction of the center of Gdynia. At the height of the Trzy Korony station we turn right into Spokojna Street and go straight on the asphalt until the end, then along dirt roads we reach the second observation tower (free admission). After admiring the views from the tower, we head to Orlowo. We leave the forest at the height of CH KLIF. Then along Zwycięstwa Avenue along Stryjska, Luzycka, Sportowa and Wilenska streets we reach the Wzgórze Shopping Center where, at its back, we enter the forest and going sharply uphill we reach the third tower. Unfortunately, the tower is in terrible condition and climbing it is very dangerous. Then we descend to Kielecka Street, which we use to reach the station Gdynia Wzgórze Św. Maksymiliana. Here we can end our tour.

Very nice route, although in the heat at times too sandy :)

Very visually appealing and passable without special effort. Some sections very sandy so best to go after rains.

The route is great, lots of climbs, and we like that ;-) However, I think there will be a lot of sand under the wheels in the less humid season.

The route is very cool, especially for getting back in shape after a long break. NOTE!!! Information as of 24.06.2011, the observation tower is closed to the public until further notice.Decision from the head office according to Mr. Caretaker.
