À vélo de Zgierz à Łódź

This pleasant 18 km ride takes you from Zgierz to the center of Łódź, perfect for both daily commuters and weekend explorers. Starting in Zgierz—a town with origins going back to the 15th century and a proud textile heritage—you’ll quickly join well-kept cycleways (over half of the route), and most of your journey is on asphalt or smooth paving stones. The route is mostly flat, with only a gentle climb, so it’s accessible to all levels.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy a mix of quiet roads and cycle paths, staying clear of busy traffic. The scenery transitions from Zgierz’s peaceful suburbs into the more vibrant, urban vibe of Łódź, which is Poland’s third-largest city and famous for its eclectic architecture and lively Piotrkowska Street.

It’s a relaxed ride—nothing too technical or strenuous—so take your time, maybe stop for a coffee along the way, and enjoy rolling right into the heart of Łódź!
