The best road cycling routes around gmina Skierniewice

wonderful place, I highly recommend it

A well-maintained bike path around the reservoir in Skierniewice. One lap is approximately 5.25 km. The flat route is very pleasant to cycle on. 😁

Every year, celebrations are held in the square to mark the anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.

In July 2023, the renovated market square was unveiled, as part of the project, sidewalks and green infrastructure in the Market Square were rebuilt. The surface of the streets adjacent to the Market Square was hardened: Kozia, Żabia, Zastodolna and Senatorska streets. The building of the Municipal and Communal Cultural Center in Bolimów, the seat of the City and Commune Office and the bus stop, which currently serves as a tourist information center, were renovated and adapted.

Kopanicha Nature Reserve is a 42.53 ha forest nature reserve established in 1980, located in the Skierniewice commune in the Łódź province. It is located within the Bolimów Landscape Park, near provincial road no. 705 and the town of Budy Grabskie. The reserve covers a section of the Rawka River valley (with a steep escarpment), which creates a semicircular depression among the areas located above the valley. The reserve also covers a small area above the escarpment. The area in the depression is very wet, in places marshy.

The reservoir on the Skierniewka (Łupia) River is already visible on maps of Skierniewice from the 15th century. Initially, the reservoir was located near the village of Dęba, which was later incorporated into the city of Skierniewice. It was practically untouched by humans until the second half of the 20th century. It was not until the 1970s that its lower section was excavated near Zadębie Street and the Zadębie district. As part of the reservoir's renovation carried out in the years 1996-1999, the current reservoir bowl was shaped.

January 17, 1945, early morning. Tanks from the 220th rapid reaction group, commanded by Colonel Pashkov, break into Skierniewice occupied by the Germans. The occupiers are surprised and surrender the city almost without a fight. The only loss is a Soviet T-34 tank, in which its entire crew was killed. Today, these events are commemorated by a monument - a T-34 tank, located on Sienkiewicza Street (near Dworcowa Street). It was probably hit in this place by a German Panzerfaust. There is a plaque on the monument to the fallen tank crew.
