In bici da Görlitz a Zgorzelec

This short ride takes you from the enchanting old town of Görlitz in Germany across the Neisse River to Zgorzelec, its Polish twin city. It’s about 4.4 km—perfect for a leisurely pedal with just a few minor inclines (total ascent is around 33 meters, so nothing too challenging). The route mostly sticks to quiet roads and is almost entirely paved, with a charming mix of asphalt and some cobblestone to keep things interesting.

Görlitz is famous for its exceptionally well-preserved architecture and has starred in movies like “Grand Budapest Hotel.” As you ride east, you’ll cross a scenic bridge into Zgorzelec, seamlessly transitioning from Germany to Poland. Zgorzelec shares much of its history and ambiance with Görlitz, but with its own Polish flavor—great for a quick coffee or pastry before heading back.

It’s a relaxing, cross-border trip packed with history and some beautiful riverside views—perfect for an easy city spin!
