Dear Sirs!

On my own behalf, and on behalf of the whole community of Leśnica commune, I would like to invite you for a weekend, 15 and 16 October 2011, to Silesia, to St. Anne Mountain, where Canicross and Bikejoring European Championshipswill be held. I am convinced that on those days competitors, supporters and lovers of dogs will have excellent sports time in a picturesque scenery of the landscape park and the largest European rock amphitheater.

St. Anne Mountain is a particular place on the map of Silesia and of Poland. Pilgrims from Poland, Germany and Czech Republic have been arriving to St. Anne sanctuary for a few hundred years. Every year, we receive more than 300 thousand tourists. It is here where for several years Championship of Poland in Mountain Runs, Mountain Car Championship of Poland and Bike Marathon are held. We have diverse accommodation and catering base, which, combined with the Silesian hospitality, will be satisfactory for each visitor.

St. Anne Mountain, as a primeval volcano, is a place of special natural and landscape values, and the amphitheatre constituting a central place of competitions gives special character to these championships.

Canicross and Bikejoring European Championships, held this year on St. Anne Mountain, will be surely a fantastic sports and family event. Already today, you are welcome to the ceremony of opening of the competition, on 14 October, and to the competition, on 15 and 16 October.

Mayor of Leśnica
