Lublin is settled on a few rivers: Bystrzyca, Czechówka, Czerniejówka. Czechówka Valley and a part of the red hiking trail are worth visiting and will be the destination of our next walk.
The route that we lead our readers will start near Skansen from Warszawska Avenue. It will lead us down to Wądolna street.
Going by wild routes, on the cross of the Główna street, we pass by the picturesque “floating house” on the right. Only frogs, birds and insects can be heard.
Going straight we can see the red hiking trail that leads to Nałęczów and Kazimierz. Going further, we come across charming valley on the river. The rustle of water will ease your nerves there. On the left, we will pass by the premises of brickyard.
Walking on the path, there is a football pitch of a local football team. Later on, we come to the Dąbrowica parish where the historic tower will take your breath away.
Dąbrowica belonged to Firlej family where they have built magnificent castle. Firlej family ruled Dąbrowica within 14th-18th centuries. Unfortunately, the castle has been destroyed during the time of the Swedes invasions in the 18th century. The leftover of this castle is a gorgeous tower. After the Second World War this territory has been bought by the Jesuits. The buildings were prepared for their granary. Nowadays, the building has been restored and changed into “The meeting house” and a chapel. Interestingly enough, this place connects the renaissance tower with contemporary architecture style.
At the end of walk, we can go to the last bus stop of bus number 3 to come back to the city centre. What does the river whisper about? Maybe it is worth listening?
The next walk will be continued…
