Discover Nowe Chechło

When planning a trip to Nowe Chechło, it is worth considering the town itself and its immediate surroundings separately. In the town, the history of the colony provides a clear historical connection; at nearby Nakło-Chechło Reservoir, various leisure activities are associated with the water. The town also has listed Metrorower stations and a black hiking trail from Nakło Śląskie to the lake. This lets you tailor your stay to the subjects that interest you without treating local history and excursions in the surrounding area as one and the same.

The History of Nowe Chechło Colony

The Nowe Chechło colony was founded in 1776 by the Donnersmarck family of Świerklaniec. The year of its founding and the family named provide specific reference points for the town’s history. If you are interested in the history of your destination, this founding is a distinct focal point within the town. It can be distinguished from the leisure activities at nearby Nakło-Chechło Reservoir: the former concerns the colony’s historical significance, while the latter concerns the area around the body of water.

From Mining to Nakło-Chechło Reservoir

The history of Nakło-Chechło Reservoir is also connected to how the land was used. In the 1960s, backfill sand was extracted there for use in hard-coal mines to fill exhausted workings. After extraction ended in 1968, the authorities of Tarnowskie Góry County decided to create a large body of water on the site of the disused sand pit as a sports and recreation centre. This clearly distinguishes the land’s former use from the later plans for sports and recreation. If you want to understand the landscape’s background as well as its leisure activities, this sequence provides a specific connection between mining and recreational planning.

Leisure by the Water and Seasonal Information

Four leisure activities are associated with nearby Nakło-Chechło Reservoir: swimming, fishing, kayaking, and sailing. These different interests can help you plan the focus of your stay and distinguish activities on the water from local history or a hike.

In the surrounding area, at the camping area of Nakło-Chechło Reservoir, electricity, running water, toilets, changing rooms, and sanitary facilities with showers are available during the season. At Pole Biwakowe, there is a supervised bathing area during the summer season. The time periods differ: the facilities at the camping area are seasonal, while the supervised bathing area is specifically available during the summer season. Check the latest seasonal information before your visit if you plan to use these facilities or the bathing area.

Hiking Trail and Getting Around the Town

A black hiking trail leads from Nakło Śląskie to Jezioro Nakło-Chechło. The route therefore has clearly named starting and ending points. When planning, you can consider it as a separate focus alongside the leisure activities by the water: here, the emphasis is on the route to the lake; there, on an activity at the water. This lets you give the different themes weight according to your interests.

For getting around Nowe Chechło, Metrorower stations are listed on ul. Lasowicka, opposite the primary school, and on ul. Rekreacyjna, by Pole Biwakowe at Nakło–Chechło Reservoir. The two listings distinguish a location in the town from one by the nearby body of water. If you want to include Metrorower in your plans, check the latest station information in advance, as station details may change.
