Easy hikes and walks around gmina Nowy Kawęczyn

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. 😁

Beautiful place. Clean, warm sand. Only people can't respect and take back what they brought... oh, will that ever change?

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

The building of the former entrance gate located in the eastern part of the city park in Skierniewice. The gate was built in the years 1770-1780 during the reign of Archbishop Antoni Kazimierz Ostrowski according to the design of the architect Efraim Szreger. On its walls you can see commemorative plaques, including those dedicated to the 500th anniversary of obtaining city rights and a plaque built in the interwar period in tribute to the residents of the city and district who died in the years 1914-1920. Its purpose was to serve high state and church dignitaries.

The Skierniewice City Park is a park located in the central part of the city on both sides of the Skierniewka (Łupia) River. The origins of the park date back to the 14th century. Initially, it was a garden at the archbishop's manor. The park contained cascades, grottos, gazebos, four ponds and terraces on the river bank during the time of Archbishop Antoni Kazimierz Ostrowski. The Skierniewice park was beautified by Ignacy Krasicki, making it similar to the parks in Smolany. In the 18th century, there was an orangery with orange trees, an Italian garden, orchards and vineyards at the Primate's Palace. In the years 1830–1845, the gardens and park were thoroughly rebuilt, creating a landscape park.

Oberwanka Beach is a wide sandy bank on a bend of the Rawka River, created as a result of the escarpment being washed out and torn off. The place is part of the Rawka Reserve, and is therefore formally not accessible to tourists, as the reserve covers the riverbed and the area 10 m from the water. Sometimes the police chase away numerous beachgoers. However, you can spread out on the high bank with a view of the kayakers passing by, and then take a walk along the picturesque edge of the Bolimów Landscape Park.

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.
