Excursión ciclista de un día de Krakow a Oświęcim

Hey there cyclists! If you're planning a ride from the vibrant city of Krakow to the historic town of Oświęcim, you're in for a scenic journey through the heart of Poland. This route stretches about 84 kilometers, perfect for a day's ride with a bit of a challenge thanks to the 235 meters of ascent.

Most of your path will be smooth sailing on asphalt, making up 88% of the route. You'll mostly be on cycleways, which is awesome for safety and enjoying the scenery at your own pace. Quiet roads and a mix of paths add a touch of variety, while a bit of gravel and paving stones here and there keeps things interesting.

Krakow, your starting point, is a city rich in history and architecture, known for its medieval core and the beautifully preserved medieval town square. As you pedal towards Oświęcim, you'll gradually transition from the urban energy of Krakow to a more serene countryside vibe.

Ending in Oświęcim, you'll arrive at a place with deep historical significance, home to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. It's a sobering yet important stop to reflect on the past.

Enjoy the ride, and don't forget to pack snacks and hydrate!
