Cycling day trip from Lodz to Sieradz

Set off from Łódź, the bustling heart of central Poland, and pedal your way southwest toward Sieradz—a charming town with medieval roots. This 78 km ride lets you roll mostly on quiet country roads (about two-thirds of the journey), offering a calm break from city traffic. Around a third of your route is on smooth asphalt, but expect a fair bit of the path’s surface info to be a mystery, so an adventure-ready spirit helps.

You'll gently climb and descend through scenic, gently rolling farmland, with a total ascent of about 177 meters—not too daunting, so it’s great for an all-day outing with plenty of sights. On arrival, reward yourself with a stroll through Sieradz’s picturesque Old Town; it’s one of the oldest towns in the region, known for its quaint markets and peaceful parks.

Pack a snack (or two), prepare for a mixed surface, and enjoy the blend of pastoral landscapes and Polish history. This route is perfect if you love the journey as much as the destination!
