The longest market square in Europe, whose main function is parking. A filter that cuts out cars from souvenir photos will come in handy in your camera :)

The shelter is already very rotten, but it can still fulfill its function. However, it is surrounded by bushes, and the shelter is almost hidden from the road along the embankment.

A very nice investment, the pedestrian and bicycle bridge allows you to freely get to the other side of the Narew.

"The history of the town hall dates back to the early 15th century. Bishop Jakub of Płock is said to have funded the seat of the town authorities in 1405. The Gothic tower added to the town hall fulfilled both judicial and penitentiary functions as well as defense. Initially, it reached a height of 15 m and was built on a rectangular plan. During the 15th and 16th centuries, it was gradually raised, with additional storeys built on an octagonal plan. A new town hall was also built - lower, more modern - in the Renaissance style, topped with a crested attic. The 30-meter tower at that time gained a domed spire with a lantern, and a clock was also ordered for it. During the wars in the 17th and 18th centuries, the town hall burned down several times. In 1728, it was rebuilt with funds from Bishop Andrzej Stanisław Kostka Załuski. The two-bay building surrounded the tower in a horseshoe shape from the east. The entrance was located on the north and covered with a wooden arcade. The tower roof was changed to an octagonal one, and the clock was abandoned. In this form, the town hall survived until the end of the 19th century. At that time, in addition to the city authorities, the army was quartered here, and there was a prison and even warehouses for Pułtusk merchants. At the end of the 19th century, a shelter was organized in the ruined building, and from 1880, the ground floor and the tower were put into use by the Volunteer Fire Department. After 1902, a new, smaller building was erected on the site of the former building, in the neo-Gothic style, only for the use of the fire department. The tower was deprived of its roof, replacing it with an uncovered platform. It turned out to be completely non-functional and the original roof covering of the tower top was quickly restored. Also at that time, a clock was placed on the north side, on the seventh floor." Source: https://arch.pultusk.pl/wieza-dawnego-ratusza-gotycko-renesansowa/

The market square is located in the old part of the city, between the Basilica and the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene. Currently, the market square in Pułtusk is 400 meters long and 50 meters wide. It received a rectangular surface of these dimensions during the great expansion of the settlement in the 15th century.

The Singletrack Bagno Pulwy in Rząśnik is supposed to be passable for practically everyone and its basic route is easy. Additional elements and the rock garden section slightly increase the level of difficulty, but anyone who does not feel up to it can bypass them by sticking to the main line. In my opinion, this is a great place for beginners and those who are planning their first trips to the mountains on more difficult routes. Singletrack full of moguls and gently profiled turns will be a great training ground for learning the technique of overcoming this type of obstacle. After training on such a route, it will be much easier for people who would like to ride bike parks and flow routes in the future. It will also work great as a training XC route. Thanks to the great fluidity of the entire loop, you can specifically train maintaining speed and polish your technique on alternative obstacles. In several places, the route is intersected by ordinary forest roads, which also allow you to train smaller loops. Cyclists focused on enduro and terrain should not kid themselves that this is the terrain and route for them. Knowing well the realities of flat as a table Mazovia, Singletrack in Rząśnik is a really good alternative to places like Kampinos, Wieliszew or Stara Miłosna. This loop will also be an ideal choice for an interesting family trip. https://43ride.com/wyjazdy/2023/singletrack-rzasnik-mazowsze/
