Discover Grobla

Grobla brings together landscape, local history and facilities at the MOR as distinct themes. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for a trip to Poland, it may help to decide in advance which of these matter most to you. The town offers specific points of interest: its connection to the river landscape, several historical details, and named facilities for recreation and parking.

Vistula oxbow lakes and facilities at the MOR

Oxbow lakes of the Vistula lie in Grobla, giving the town a clear connection to the river landscape. If waterways and scenery are among your selection criteria, that is a specific reason to take a closer look at Grobla. The MOR offers a different focus. It has Bike&Ride and Park&Ride parking, as well as toilets; there is also an outdoor fitness station, a playground, paths and avenues. The mix includes both parking options and a range of recreational features. If you are travelling by car, the Park&Ride parking is a specific point of reference. If you are travelling with children, you can consider the playground as a separate factor; the paths and outdoor fitness station add other interests to the picture of the MOR.

Church, surroundings and local history

The church in Grobla is surrounded by exotic trees and shrubs belonging to different species. Its varied surroundings are therefore also part of the townscape. Historically, a church dedicated to Saint John stood in Grobla before a parish was established there in 1909. This sequence of events provides a specific point of reference for the town’s ecclesiastical history. Together, the church and its surroundings offer a different way to explore the town than the river landscape or the facilities at the MOR: the focus here is on religious local history and a distinctive detail of the landscape.

The treasure discovered in 1902

Another specific historical detail is the treasure discovered in Grobla in 1902. It consisted mainly of Polish, Arab, German, Czech and Hungarian coins, as well as other valuable objects. Its contents give the find a distinct profile within the town’s history: alongside the five named coin origins, it also included other valuable objects. If you like to get a sense of destinations through specific historical details, this find adds a separate theme to the town’s ecclesiastical history.

Folk music and cemetery history

Music and cemetery history are also distinct points of interest when exploring Grobla. The folk music group “Groblanie” has been performing folk music since 1975. This gives the local musical tradition a point of reference in time and makes it a cultural theme in its own right. At the parish cemetery in Grobla, 21 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army and one soldier of the Russian Army who fell in November 1914 are buried. The figures, army affiliations and shared historical timeframe outline another chapter in the town’s history. Depending on whether you are more interested in music or historical sites, you can give these themes different weight when planning your trip.
