Itinerary description
This is the second part of a two-day trip with downstream of the Hnylopjať and Teteriv, with an overnight in Žytomyr. The first part is described here https://wikiloc.com/routen-mountain-bike/cycling-around-kyiv-hnylopjat-93659691 .
The beginning of the route captures the rocky bed of Teteriv - below Žytomyr it still flows in rapids between the hilly forested banks. I think it is possible to follow the stream all the way to Korostyšiv (Коростишів), but for the sake of saving time I took a shortcut along the M-06 highway.
Here in Korostyšiv the river gets calmer, but numerous granite quarries nearby still remind you of its rocky nature. There are 3 quarries in Korostyšiv and another one in Vysoký Kamiń (Високий Камінь) - all serving as resting places.
Below Vysoký Kamiń, Teteriv is already flowing through the flat meadows, perfect for relaxed cycling. The beaten road starts in the village Marjanivka, leading to the historical town of Radomyšľ (Радомишль). After 25 km, I had to leave the road and to make a turn into the boggy meadows towards an iron bridge across the river - to the village Bila Krynyća (Біла Криниця) and eventually to a bumpy concrete road O-101110. The final destination is anyway not far - just 15 km to the railway station Teteriv with a direct connection to Kýiv.
