The best gravel rides around gmina Rawa Mazowiecka

A very nice viewing spot.

A great bike path around the Tatar Reservoir in Rawa Mazowiecka. One lap is approximately 3.64 km.

Well-preserved ruins of the castle and defensive walls.

A small reservoir, located among forests, the average depth is about 1.8 m. The dominant fish is roach. In spring, you can catch some good tench. An interesting place for friendly fishing competitions. Access to the water from every side. A place for a bonfire, there are large tables and benches. Very pleasant.

The over 50-hectare, forest-surrounded reservoir "Tatar" with the Sports and Recreation Center is perfect for not only summer recreation. Residents and tourists have access to a walking and cycling route around the reservoir, benches along the shores, a guarded beach, alleys in the forest, a hotel, and pubs and restaurants where you can eat deliciously and cheaply. There are many ways to spend your free time. For example, you can rent a water bike, a boat, or a kayak and sail around the reservoir. The reservoir was created in the historic district of Rawa Mazowiecka, Tatar, which was a separate town until 1924.

The castle was built in the second half of the 14th century as the most southwestern stronghold of Mazovia, situated in the marshy forks of the Rawka and Rylka rivers, on an important trade route from Pomerania to Ruthenia. Thanks to King Sigismund Augustus, from 1569, the Rawka castle was used to deposit and store the quartz tax (established in 1563), collected from the starosty and crown lands, and intended for the Crown Army. From the 17th century, the castle fell into ruin. The destruction was initiated by the Swedish army during the "Deluge". Partial reconstruction in the second half of the 18th century by the Rawka starosta Franciszek Lanckoroński did not stop the process of decline. Its deliberate destruction, initiated during the Polish-Russian war at the end of the 18th century, was continued by the Prussians, who ruled the city at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. After World War II, conservation work began. In the years 1954-1958 the outline of the foundations was uncovered, a section of the curtain walls and the octagonal tower, which houses archaeological and historical exhibitions, were reconstructed.

The parish in Wysokienice was established in 1347 by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno, Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki. The first parish church was supposed to have five altars. At the beginning of the 16th century, it was pastored by two priests: a parish priest and a vicar. It was supposedly consecrated only in 1540 by the suffragan bishop of Gniezno, Jan Busiński, but it is not known under what name. The church burned down together with the entire village of Wysokienice on 20 October 1749. A new church, larch, oriented, of log construction, boarded, dedicated to St. Martin the Bishop was built in 1758, funded by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno, Adam Komorowski, the primate of Poland, on exactly the same site as the previous one. Since there was no home for the vicar after the fire, only one priest, Fr. Tomasz Jachowicz, who funded three altars, was in charge of the church. The interior of the church was maintained from the beginning in the late Baroque style combined with Rococo. This is indicated by the late Baroque side altars with Rococo decoration and paintings of saints. In time, the parishioners funded two more altars from contributions, so the church was restored to its original state with five altars.

Wojciech Rawicz Boguski, the starost of Stromcze, built a larch church in his hereditary estate in 1558 and furnished it with valuable paintings and sculptures. The church's polychrome is considered the most valuable monument of art in the region. The Boguszyce temple has also been entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
