There are three touristic trials throughout Koziegłowy commune: two of them are bicycle trials and one walking trial. A dominate sport in the commune is cycling. Founded in 1978 a sport club “Błękitni MARCAR Koziegłowy” can be proud of many national representatives in road-, crosscountry- and mountain-cycling. However, the Koziegłowy commune is famous for its handicraft – especially plaiting. In conclusion: in spite of interesting places worth to see in the Koziegłowy commune, its touristic offer is still insufficient.
