Alongside the hiking and cycling routes described above, activities on the water are also available. The kayaking route and the options at the supervised swimming areas are separate offerings: the route passes through several named places, while swimming and boat hire are available at the two bodies of water mentioned.

Przedbórz: Town Hall and museum

Przedbórz Town Hall was built between 1838 and 1840 in the Neoclassical style. The Muzeum Ludowe in Przedbórz features a farmhouse room furnished in the style of the 19th century, with a chimney, a hearth with a stove bench, a working loom, and old tools and furniture from the Przedbórz region. Another exhibition recalls disappearing crafts such as saddlery, shoemaking, carpentry, basketry, sieve-making and pottery. The town hall and museum offer two distinct historical points of interest for planning your trip: the town hall’s Neoclassical construction period and the rural domestic and craft culture on display.

Regional dishes

Przedborski kugiel and Radomszczańska zalewajka are among the dishes appreciated by visitors to the county. These two dishes add a culinary dimension to the nature and culture themes without requiring you to plan for a specific place to eat.
