The best MTB trails around Piotrków Trybunalski

The foundation of the monastery allegedly took place in 1176, but most likely only a dozen or so years later. It was carried out by Duke Casimir II the Just, who brought monks from the Morimond Abbey in Burgundy (now in Champagne) and allocated them land located near the crossing of the Pilica river in Sulejów. The duke's initiative was supported, also financially, by the Bishop of Krakow, Pełka, and the Archbishop of Gniezno, Piotr Łabędź, a particularly distinguished patron of Cistercian convents.

Narrow, but passable.

The building known as Gustav Kramer's Bank House from the cult crime comedy "Vabank" (1981) directed by Juliusz Machulski is a corner tenement house called "Złoty Róg" (Golden Horn), located at Kościuszki Square 6 (at the intersection with Sieradzka Street) in Piotrków Trybunalski.

The corner building "Golden Horn" (officially entered into the register of monuments in March 1992) has permanently inscribed itself into the city's architectural and film landscape.

The bench of Henryk Kwinto in Piotrków Trybunalski was created in May 2015 as part of the film trail. It commemorates the iconic film "Vabank" (1981) by Juliusz Machulski, scenes of which were filmed in this city (including in the corner tenement house "Złoty Róg" at Plac Kościuszki, which played Kramer's bank). In the autumn of 2024, the renovated bench was moved to a better, new location.

The Orthodox parish in the city was founded in the 18th century by merchants from Macedonia and Greece, who were fleeing persecution in the Ottoman Empire.

The Cistercian Abbey complex in Sulejów (in the Podklasztorze district) is the best-preserved post-Cistercian complex in Europe and a Monument of History. Founded in 1176 by Casimir the Just, it has retained its unique character thanks to its Romanesque-Gothic architecture and powerful defensive walls. The site combines sacral functions with a historic accommodation and gastronomic base. The monastery is open to visitors and offers an insight into the heritage of the Cistercian order. It is worth paying attention to specific elements of the complex: - Church of St. Thomas the Apostle: A 13th-century Romanesque temple with characteristic Gothic details. - Museum in the chapter house: A place exhibiting former monastic memorabilia and historical artifacts. - Fortifications: 15th-century walls with towers and gates surrounding the entire complex.

The Smardzewice dam on the Pilica river is an earth-beton construction with a length of 1200 m and a height of 16 m, built in the years 1969–1974. It forms the Sulejowski Reservoir with an area of 2700 ha. The dam serves a retention and flood control function, and also supplies drinking water to, among others, Łódź and houses a hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 3.6 MW. From the crown of the dam, a view unfolds over the expanse of the river and the reservoir itself. It is also an excellent viewpoint and a place for walks. Around the reservoir and the dam itself run footpaths and cycle routes. The facility is located right next to Spałkowowo and Tomaszów Mazowiecki.
