The track allows exploration of the Łęczyńsko-Włodawskie Lake District – a beautiful area of lakes, marshes and peat bogs, with a rich variety of flora and fauna. The track is not particularly challenging, as it mainly goes through plains. Track surfaces are diverse, but to a large extent these are more or less all asphalt roads.

The initial section of the track goes through the Highlands of Lublin running alongside the Ciemięga, Bystrzyca and Wieprz rivers. The track crosses through areas of the National Park of Polesie, Nature Reserve of Łęczyńsko-Włodawskie Lake District and Nature reserve of Polesie, which together make up The International Sanctuary of the Biosphere of “Western Polesie”. The track runs near to the Nadrybie, Piaseczno, Bikcze and Wereszczyński’s lakes. Its final stretch proceeds along the borderland between Łeczyńsko-Włodawskie Lake District and Hills of Chełm, through the wild forest areas of Włodawa and Sobibór, and the valley of the Bug River. In Uhruska Wola the route leads onto the cycling track running from Wola Uhruska – to Włodawa. On the way there are two viewing towers: one on the Bubnów Marsh (Nature reserve of Polesie – the south-east part) and the other in Uhruska Wola.

En route, apart from coming across many natural beauty spots or places of particular scenic merit , there are many places of cultural heritage to discover. Among the most interesting are the castle and park complex in Jakubowice Murowane and Zawieprzyce, historic churches in Bystrzyca and Wereszczyn as well as an old Orthodox church (at present the parish church) in Hańsk. In Zaucze Stare the track runs close to the Museum and Educational Centre of the National Park of Polesie.
