Jedlińsk lies on the Radomka and combines outdoor activities with a distinctive cultural profile. The town has three Nordic walking circuits of varying lengths, as well as a designated one-day kayaking route. Other highlights include the Baroque parish church of Saints Peter and Andrew the Apostles, the Muzeum Ziemi Jedlińskiej and the traditional Ścięcie Śmierci event. When planning a stay, you can choose how to balance outdoor activity, scenery and local culture according to your interests.
Three circular routes of varying lengths
The “Jedlińsk” Nordic Walking Park has three circular routes: the green route is 4.7 km long, the red 10.9 km and the black 15 km. The difference between the shortest and longest circuits is 10.3 km; the red route is more than twice as long as the green one. The routes also differ in the types of paths they follow: pavements, paved and unpaved roads, and forest trails. Signs provide exercise suggestions for independent use, and heart-rate measurement points are also located along the routes. The starting point is on the grounds of the Ośrodek Sportu i Rekreacji (OSiR), ul. Warszawska 1. It is on the E7 regional road between Radom and Warsaw; Radom is 10 km away.
The Radomka and the landscape
A one-day kayaking route from Jedlińsk to Goryń is designated on the Radomka. If you are planning a kayaking trip, check the conditions for your intended date in advance. The kayaking route is described as a day trip, while the walking circuits can be compared by their distances in kilometres—two different measures to consider when planning. The surroundings of Jedlińsk are particularly picturesque and feature a diverse range of plant and animal life. There are numerous fishponds nearby. The kayaking route offers a specific activity on the river, while the ponds and biodiversity also shape the surrounding area.
Baroque church and distinctive details
The parish church of Saints Peter and Andrew the Apostles dates from the 18th century, is Baroque in style and is oriented east. “Oriented east” describes its alignment towards the east and is a feature distinct from its Baroque style. Its interior features polychrome decoration and paintings by T. Kuntze. The gable above the façade bears Bishop Załuski’s Junosza coat of arms. The bell tower also houses a bell donated by Scottish settlers of the Calvinist faith. The church brings together its architectural style, painted decoration, a named coat of arms and a distinctive history of patronage.
Local traditions and the museum
The Muzeum Ziemi Jedlińskiej was founded in Jedlińsk in 1996. Another cultural landmark is Ścięcie Śmierci, a traditional event held every year on Kusy Wtorek—the last day of the carnival season. If you want to plan your trip around the event, check the specific date for the year in question. Along with the church, the museum offers another way to connect with local culture; the annual event, in turn, provides a date to consider when planning your trip.
