Bring a hydration system
Carry 1–2 liters in a bottle or small hydration pack—water sources exist but can be scarce between villages.

Watch for loose limestone
Short descents and trail shoulders can be loose after rain—use controlled braking and pick a steady line.

Sturdy hybrid/gravel bike
Handles mixed paved and compact dirt roads of the Prądnik Valley more comfortably than a road bike.
Helmet
