Cycling day trip from Rzeszów to Polańczyk

Here’s one for the adventure seekers! Start your ride in Rzeszów, the lively capital of the Subcarpathian region, known for its pretty old town and bustling city atmosphere. Spin south through a mix of quiet roads, country tracks, and, yes, a few hilly sections (prepare: there’s a serious 3400+ meters of climbing along the way!). The route winds through rural villages and rolling hills, giving you a taste of southern Poland’s beautiful scenery.

You’ll cover almost 140 km and end up in Polańczyk, a cozy lakeside resort perched by Lake Solina. It’s a famous spot for relaxing, sailing, and soaking in mountain air — the perfect finish after a big ride. Expect mostly paved and asphalt surfaces, with some stretches of gravel and unpaved track for extra adventure. Pack snacks and be ready for some epic views — especially as you near the Bieszczady mountains!
