When planning a stay in Bełchatowski, it is worth considering a range of attractions: paths and gardens in Bełchatów, sports facilities and cultural heritage in Bełchatów Municipality, as well as nature and leisure destinations in Bełchatów County.

Paths and a garden in Bełchatów

The greenway along the Rakówka connects the districts of Binków, Słoneczne, Edwardów, Okrzei and Budowlanych with the city centre. It serves as a connecting route for pedestrians and cyclists. If you include this route in your plans, bear in mind that its course may change, and check the route before setting out.

Another cycling connection runs along a paved route from Bełchatów to the Wawrzkowizna and Słok leisure centres. This route offers a different option from the greenway through the city districts. As the surface and maintenance conditions may change, it is advisable to check the current condition before your ride.

Apple trees of ten varieties and seven kinds of fruit bushes grow in Jabłoniowy Sad on Okrzei Street. Vines climb wooden pergolas. The greenway and the orchard offer different highlights: one is primarily a route for pedestrians and cyclists, while the other features a named variety of fruit trees and vines.

Sports and educational activities

The Powiatowe Centrum Sportu in Bełchatów comprises an indoor swimming pool, a sports hall and a sports field with an artificial surface. In summer, the facilities also include two tennis courts and courts for basketball, handball, volleyball and badminton. The table tennis areas have plastic flooring. As the availability of individual facilities may vary, it is best to check current access arrangements before your visit.

PGE Giganty Mocy offers educational workshops for primary and secondary school students. Topics range from geology and geography to palaeontology and biology. As programme details may change, check dates and conditions if you would like to include a workshop in your plans.

Cultural heritage in Bełchatów Municipality

Bełchatów Municipality is home to several places of cultural and historical interest, each with a different focus. In Postękalice stands the wooden filial church of St Roch, built in 1737. In Łękawa, the palace and park complex includes an almost square 18th-century palace set in the middle of a park.

The ruins of the fortified manor house in Mikorzyce stand on a mound surrounded by a moat. The history of the defensive line along the Widawka is also evident in the municipality: three of the seventeen surviving reinforced-concrete field bunkers are located there. They were built for the “Łódź” Army starting in June 1939. The church, palace and park complex, and fortifications offer different ways to explore the history of the municipality.

More to explore in Bełchatów County

Extensive forests and numerous bodies of water shape the region’s appeal for tourism and active recreation.
