Day-by-Day Itinerary


Day 1: (Saturday) Arrival in Krakow

Arrival in Krakow and first overnight stay at a centrally located hotel. After finding your room there is time to stroll through Krakow for a first impression of its historic city center and famous nightlife.

Day 2: (Sunday) Pilica-Source – Zawada ca 30-40 km cycling

After the bus ride to Smole?, which takes barely an hour, we get on the cycles on a hill with medieval castle ruins. The first kilometers are downhill through Jura landscapes towards the source of the river. We ride further past fish ponds, through a pretty town, with the same name as the river – Pilica – to our accomodation at Zawada.

Day 3: (Monday) Zawada – Przedbórz ca 65 km cycling

The flat and quiet roads run through shady forests for the most part and you will scarcely notice the kilometers flying by. This leg is the longest and ends in the small town of Przedbórz which is next to Przedbórz Landscape Park.

Day 4 (Tuesday): Przedbórz – Sulejów ca 40 km cycling

Once more we pass through tree-lined avenues, narrow fields and fragrant meadows and even gardens in full bloom until we come to a very special accomodation. Our hotel was once a Cistercian abbey built on the extensive grounds of a castle from the Middle Ages.

Day 5 (Wednesday): Sulejów – Spa?a ca 45 km cycling

For this leg of our journey we first go past the reservoir with many places to go for a dip. After that the open air museum at Piliza is well worth a visit. The largest city on our route is Tomaszów, with 30,000 inhabitants. A network of car-free cycle paths takes one to Spa?a, a popular forest health resort.

Day 6 (Thursday): Spa?a – Nowe Miasto ca 45 km cycling

Spa?a lies within a forested area that has been a popular hunting and recreational area since the 19th century: first for the Russian Czars and then Polish presidents. This area also has remnants of recent history – the huge railway bunker at Konewki was the command post „Anlage Mitte” of the German military during World War II. Our overnight stay is at the small town of Nowe Miasto at a guesthouse located directly at the river.

Day 7 (Friday): Nowe Miasto – Warka 55 km. cycling

This last leg goes past Wy?mierzyce which with its 858 inhabitants and old wooden houses is considered to be the smallest town in Poland. Next we cycle through vegetable fields and orchards. The final destination is the four-star hotel and horse breeding farm “Sielanka”, or “idyllic land” at Warka.

Day 8 (Saturday): End or individual extension of stay.

Warsaw is only 60 km from Warka and is easy to reach with the hourly regional train. The journey takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. Those who wish to stay a day longer can go on the 30 – 40 km round-trip to Weichseltal and the Pilica estuary.
