Easy hikes and walks around Żyrardów

There's a large tree growing by the café behind the palace. I remember it being a rare species, and I think it's a Ginkgo biloba. Such a specimen is unique in Poland. It might be a tulip tree, though. I can't remember exactly, but I think someone might be interested in this tree, especially if they're as interested in plants and trees as she is.

It's worth stocking up on supplies before continuing your journey. The shop is well-stocked.

Access to platforms via tunnels and stairs...

Beautiful place. Clean, warm sand. Only people can't respect and take back what they brought... oh, will that ever change?

On the other side of the street where the palace is located.

The residential building, rebuilt from a flax spinning mill, was built in 1913 in Żyrardów. It was one of the most modern buildings of the Linen Plant and one of the first in the world made of reinforced concrete, adapted to the loads resulting from the work of several thousand spindles. In order to evenly distribute the stresses and vibrations of the building, the roof structure was loaded with earth, and then plants were planted. There was a fire tank on the roof of the building. The water, which was drawn from the Górny Staw on Pisia Gągolin, was to flood all the floors of the building in turn in the event of a fire. On the top floor, below the fire tank, there were two other huge water tanks used to store water used for flax processing (so-called wet spinners). The water was drawn from a source located on the factory premises. It was the cleanest and healthiest water in Żyrardów.

Oberwanka Beach is a wide sandy bank on a bend of the Rawka River, created as a result of the escarpment being washed out and torn off. The place is part of the Rawka Reserve, and is therefore formally not accessible to tourists, as the reserve covers the riverbed and the area 10 m from the water. Sometimes the police chase away numerous beachgoers. However, you can spread out on the high bank with a view of the kayakers passing by, and then take a walk along the picturesque edge of the Bolimów Landscape Park.

The current palace was built between the tower and the early Baroque palace (currently non-existent) and received its current form at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries after a classicist reconstruction carried out by Kazimierz Krasiński, the Crown Campiander, according to the design of Jakub Kubicki. At that time, a columned porch with a terrace in front of the main entrance was also built. The expansion of the palace complex was later continued by Józef Wawrzyniec Krasiński, who created a landscape park around the palace that exists to this day and rebuilt the small castle in the neo-Gothic style, which is the remains of the former Radziejowski tower. Over the following decades, Radziejowice was visited by people of culture, including Juliusz Kossak, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Lucjan Rydel, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, Józef Chełmoński, Stanisław Masłowski.
