• Three named cycling routes start in Tomaszów Lubelski or its city park; they range in length from 28.4 to 73.1 km.

The Renaissance Market Square is at the heart of the historic town plan. The Salt Market was established thanks to a salt-storage privilege granted to the town. The town plan is still preserved today, with the exception of its western part, which was destroyed during the last war. These connections give the town centre a history that can be read in both its layout and the names of its markets.

At the south-eastern corner of the market, a monument commemorates the adoption of the Constitution of 3 May. Another monument in front of the town hall commemorates the battles for Tomaszów Lubelski. The Baroque wooden church on Kościelna Street was built in 1627 and is described as the town’s most valuable historic monument. Clear traces of the former defensive walls and moat remain behind it. A church stands next to the market; it was built in the late 19th century.

The Janusz Peter Museum has around 15,000 exhibits. Its collections cover archaeology, history, numismatics, ethnography and art. The museum’s subject matter thus ranges from material evidence of the past to numismatic and artistic holdings. Visitors wishing to focus on culture in Tomaszów Lubelski will find several distinct collection areas here.

Three named Szlaki run from Tomaszów Lubelski to different destinations: the Szlak Historyczny leads to Turkowice, the Szlak Wolnościowy to Hrebenne, and the Szlak Walk Partyzanckich to Bodaczów. The routes differ in both name and destination. When planning, you can first consider which of these routes and destinations best match your interests.

The cycling routes can also be distinguished by length and starting point. “Bezdroża Łaszczówki” is 28.4 km long and starts in Tomaszów Lubelski. The 46.5 km route “Wzgórze Wapielnia i fragment Szlaku geoturystycznego Roztocza środkowego” starts in the city park. “Dookoła Tomaszowa,” a 73.1 km route, also starts in the city park. The route lengths provide a concrete basis for comparison; on their own, they do not indicate the time required or the difficulty level.

Another option is the 43.2 km route “Na szumy w Suścu.” It includes a section of the eastern cycling route “Green Velo.” When comparing cycling routes, you can therefore take into account three different lengths and starting points, as well as a route explicitly linked to a section of Green Velo.

The Ośrodek Sportu i Rekreacji “Tomasovia” sports and recreation complex in Tomaszów Lubelski is surrounded by forest. Together with the town’s role as a base for exploring Roztocze, this location adds a connection to nature to the cultural attractions and routes. You can also visit pages for other places: Susiec, Wożuczyn, Majdan Sopocki Drugi, Róża, Tomaszów Lubelski, Łaszczówka-Kolonia, Kazimierówka and Krynica.
