Explore 'Piąta strona Mazowsza': An Exhibition on Regional Tourism, Fortresses, and Active Leisure

This exhibition explores the 'fifth side of Mazowsze,' focusing on tourist attractions in the vicinity of four historical Gothic fortresses: Ciechanów, Liw, Czersk, and Sochaczew. It aims to highlight often overlooked sites in the region and encourage active leisure, showcasing cycling and kayaking routes.

The exhibition 'Piąta strona Mazowsza' delves into the diverse attractions of the Mazowsze region, moving beyond well-trodden paths of famous personalities or historical battles. It centers its narrative around four key Gothic fortresses: Ciechanów in the north, Liw in the east, Czersk in the south, and Sochaczew in the west, using them as markers for exploring the region. The 'fifth side of Mazowsza' refers to the tourist attractions found in the surrounding areas of these locations. The exhibition aims to shed light on interesting places often bypassed by tourists favoring mountains, lakes, or the seaside. It serves as an encouragement for active leisure, suggesting that while these locations can be reached by train, bus, or car, the surrounding areas are best explored on foot, by bicycle, or by kayak. The exhibition includes schematic maps detailing nearby cycling and kayaking trails for each featured locality. Additionally, it highlights two exemplary weekend retreat destinations: the Kampinos Forest to the northwest of Warsaw, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and horseback riding across its approximately 670 km², and Zegrzyńskie Lake to the northeast, a 30 km² reservoir formed in 1963, ideal for swimming, kayaking, sailing in summer, and ice-boating in winter.
