After a wonderful bike ride, I reached the church in Pszczonów – a truly historic site, as it was the setting for the adaptation of Reymont's novel "Chłopi" (The Peasants). The interior of this church, rich in history – dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, with numerous renovations and Baroque polychrome – gained a new dimension thanks to the film adaptation. In the 1972 film adaptation, directed by Jan Rybkowski, alongside excellent actors – Władysław Hańcza (Maciej Boryna), Ignacy Gogolewski (Antek Boryna), Emilia Krakowska (Jagna), Krystyna Królówna (Hanka) – residents of Lipce Reymontowskie, Pszczonów, and Słupia also appeared as extras. They brought costumes, props, interiors, and the dialect of bygone times – making the adaptation incredibly authentic and vivid. This is a story truly worth seeing, especially since "The Peasants" is not only one of the greatest Polish novels but also a work by Nobel laureate Reymont – full of rich literary and social context and a profound portrayal of the countryside. The film adaptation captures its spirit and the vibrant folk culture; it is a true tribute to national tradition and the life of the ancient countryside.

Coming from Nieborów on the asphalt road, Komoot tells you to turn left, but there's no road. Instead, turn left into the "hole" in the fence. Behind it are benches for resting. The bridge shown in the photos is in poor condition, so I suggest dismounting your bike on the descent.

A city park located in the central part of the city on both sides of the Skierniewka (Łupia) River. The beginnings of the park date back to the 14th century. Initially, it was a garden at the archbishops' 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.
