Attractions and Places To See around gmina Łęki Szlacheckie - Top 20

It is better to arrive from Stobnica, because from the east you have to cross a long section of forest sand.

You can test your skills and cross the rope bridge to the other side of the Pilica River... with your bike.

Crossing this structure by bike can make your legs shake. There is a ford nearby - water up to your knees

A dam reservoir on the Luciąża River, the second largest reservoir in Piotrków County with a water surface area of 217 ha and a capacity of 7.34 million m³. Located in Piotrków County in the communes of Łęki Szlacheckie (70% of the coastline), Rozprza and Gorzkowice. In the 1960s, a comprehensive plan for irrigation and meadow management in the Luciąża River valley was developed. Its construction began in 1986 and it was put into service in 1998. During construction, the inhabitants of the villages of Kuźnica Żerechowska, Łęgoń, Wygoda, Trzciniec and Borowiec were relocated, after which a chapel protruding from the water surface remained. The purpose of the reservoir was from the beginning to irrigate meadows for milk production and to serve as a water retention facility. Currently, it is a popular place of recreation and relaxation in Piotrków County. It is also appreciated by anglers who catch pike, crucian carp, roach, carp, bream and many other species of fish. The maximum depth of water near the dam is 12 meters. In the reservoir, during the season, water equipment rentals are available: boats, kayaks, water bikes. There are numerous camping sites and camping houses around the reservoir.

The distance of Milejów from Sulejów influenced the monks to decide to build a wooden church in Milejów, which was dedicated to Saint Joseph. Probably as a result of invasions and wars, this temple burned down. In 1468, another wooden church was built, dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, which by the decision of Pope Sixtus IV was transferred in 1482 to the pastoral care of the Norbertine Order from Witów. In 1743, the Witów abbey built a third church in Milejów, which it dedicated to the Holy Guardian Angels. This state of affairs lasted until 1819, when Tsar Alexander I abolished the Norbertine Order, taking over the landed estates for the state and entrusting the parish to the care of diocesan priests. Among the many epitaphs decorating the walls of the Milejów church, we find the one dedicated to Fr. Piotr Jankowski, who served as parish priest in the years 1890-1926. It was this priest who contributed to the establishment of the People's House, the Volunteer Fire Department and the current brick church in Milejów, which was consecrated in 1902 by Bishop Stanisław Zdzitowiecki - the ordinary of the Włocławek diocese. In 1920, with the establishment of the diocese and the subsequent expansion of its borders, Milejów was incorporated into the community of the Łódź Church. It should be noted that Bishop Jan Wawrzyniec Kulik came from Milejów - the third auxiliary bishop of the Łódź diocese since its establishment. A painful chapter in the history of the Milejów parish is the period of World War II. After all, after the "Battle for Piotrków Road", which was an expression of commitment to the fight against the occupier, the Germans murdered many residents of Milejów and villages belonging to the parish. Two priests: Fr. Jan Mikołajczyk and Father Stefan Trzaska were taken to the Dachau concentration camp, where they died.

The Rozprza parish is one of the very old ones. It may date back to the 11th century. The original church was founded by Polish kings. A new wooden one was built in its place. In the years 1763-67 Szymon Zaremba, the castellan of Sieradz, built a brick church here, consecrated on 19 October 1777 by Ignacy Kozierowski, the suffragan of Gniezno. It survived until World War I, when, thanks to the efforts of Father Stanisław Szablewski, the current church was built according to the design of Feliks Nowicki. The construction was completed in 1922 by Father Bolesław Korwin Szymanowski. Thanks to the efforts of Father Marian Minor, the presbytery was remodelled and a new marble altar was built in it, and the church was covered with galvanised sheet metal.

Monkey Bridge... With a bike in my hand and SPD shoes - my ass wrinkles a bit, but after crossing and recording this fact, what a SATISFACTION!!!

The place is quite nice, but the crowd drives cars right up to the water. A place with potential, terribly neglected.
