Spała

Highlight • Settlement

It is true that I do not understand the phenomenon of Spała and the crowds in the summer, but for example the pizza in the Olimpijska Restaurant is delicious, it is also worth visiting Karczma Spała - delicious food.

Nagórzyce Caves

Highlight • Cave

The Nagórzyckie Caves in Tomaszów Mazowiecki are 18th-century excavations of an underground quartz mine. They are located in the former village of Nagórzyce, now a district of the city. The sandstone rocks from which they are built date back to the Cretaceous period. Sand extraction continued until the beginning of the 20th century, when mining was banned after the tragic collapse of one of the chambers. After years of oblivion, the caves were restored thanks to the support of the European Union and opened to tourists in 2012. This place is associated with the legend of the robber Madej.

View of Zalew Sulejowski

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sulejowski Reservoir, as this reservoir is called, is located in the Łódź province between Sulejów and Smardzewice. It is one of the largest reservoirs in central Poland. It was created in the years 1969-1973 by damming the Pilica River, along its 139 km length, with a dam in Smardzewice. The dam that was created there is about 1200 m long, 16 m high, and its width at the crest is 10 m. The created reservoir has an area of 2700 ha, a length of about 17.1 km, and a varied width, which in some sections is even about 3 km. The maximum depth of the reservoir is 10 m at the dam, while the average depth of the reservoir is 3.3 m.
