Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Industrial city in Central Poland
Tomaszów Mazowiecki runs along the Pilica River in central Poland and mixes residential neighborhoods with industrial zones. The town sits roughly halfway between Warsaw and Kraków and is surrounded by open fields and patches of forest.
Count Tomasz Adam Ostrowski founded the settlement in 1788 after discovering iron ore deposits in the region. The place grew during the 19th century through textile mills and became a center for carpet production.
The Love Polish Jazz Festival arrives every autumn and turns the town into a meeting point for musicians from many countries. Concerts and workshops fill public squares and venues over several days.
Regular trains run to Warsaw and Łódź, with journeys taking just over an hour each. Roads and paths in the center are mostly level and easy to walk.
The Niebieskie Źródła reserve protects a karst spring with water that shimmers blue from dissolved minerals. The spot lies several kilometers outside town and draws walkers and cyclists.
