The best walks and hikes around gmina Głuchów

The hydroelectric power plant on the Rawka River utilizes the natural current and the valley's terrain gradient to produce renewable energy. Its location is not accidental, as for centuries the river powered mills and other economic devices here. This is a modern reference to the past use of water power in this part of Mazovia. The spillway structure at the reservoir on the Rawka River is used to control the water level and regulate its flow in the riverbed. Thanks to it, it is possible to safely discharge excess water during floods and protect the surrounding areas from inundation. It is a modern element of hydrotechnical infrastructure that combines safety functions with the region's water management.

A very nice viewing spot.

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

A must-see and worth seeing.

Well-preserved ruins of the castle and defensive walls.

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 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 Arboretum of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences is one of the largest gardens of this type in Poland. It is an organizational unit of the Forest Experimental Station in Rogów, which also includes the Nature and Forest Education Center, the Rogów Forest District and a nursery farm. It is located in a former forest habitat and has the character of a forest park. It contains some of the richest and most interesting collections of trees and shrubs in Central and Eastern Europe. The whole is complemented by forest experimental areas with foreign species of forest trees and an alpine garden.
