Niebieskie Źródła Nature Reserve
A geological wonder hidden in the pine forests, where filtration through limestone makes the water shimmer in brilliant hues of turquoise. It is a peaceful, misty spot for a morning walk before the midday crowds arrive.
Spała
Once the private hunting grounds of Russian tsars and Polish presidents, this sleepy forest village is perfect for a slow wander. Grab an espresso and a slice of cake at Zajazd pod Żubrem and admire the local wooden architecture.
Kościół św. Idziego w Inowłodzu
This tiny, 11th-century Romanesque stone church sits atop a high hill, offering the best view in the region. Look down over the winding Pilica River and the surrounding canopy of the Spała Landscape Park.
Hotel Podklasztorze
Skip the highway diners for lunch inside a fortified 12th-century Cistercian abbey. The on-site restaurant, Miód i Wino, serves robust, elegant regional plates like slow-cooked venison and handmade pierogi under vaulted stone ceilings.
