Chyliczki: Manor history and a kayaking route on the Jeziorka

Chyliczki was once farmland belonging to the folwark of the Chyliczki manor. One specific landmark in the village’s history is the Poniatówka building: it was built in the former village of Chyliczki at a site with a long building tradition and received an award in the “Zabytek Zadbany” competition in 2025.

The romantic Poniatówka garden house has been preserved in the nearby Miejski im. Książąt Mazowieckich Park in Piaseczno. The same name also appears in the history of the place itself. Thus, historical traces lead from the former manor estate to buildings associated with Chyliczki and its surroundings.

The history of the former estate also includes Cecylia Plater-Zyberkówna. She bought the former Chyliczki estate in 1891 and founded the Agricultural Home Economics School for Girls there that same year. Since 1902, the Chapel of Our Lady of Częstochowa has been located in the Platerówka building in Piaseczno’s town park. These historical connections broaden the picture of Chyliczki to include educational and religious history, without conflating the different places.

The Jeziorka and trails in Piaseczyński

The kayaking route on the Jeziorka, which passes through Chyliczki, offers another perspective. This brings two distinct topics together: the village’s historical development and a named water route. If you are planning a stay, you can consider which one best matches your interests.

The wider Piaseczyński destination offers more ways to distinguish trails by length and route. The Chojnowski Landscape Park has seven marked hiking trails as well as a network of educational trails for pedestrians and cyclists. There is a clear visiting rule for its eleven nature reserves: they may only be visited via existing paths and marked hiking trails.

The yellow-marked Szlak Południkowy is 28 kilometres long. It runs from Piaseczno railway station via Zalesie Dolne, Górki Szymona, Zimne Doły and Zalesie Górne, through the Łoś Nature Reserve and on to Nowy Prażmów and Prażmów. The 30-kilometre Szlak rezerwatów przyrody connects Zalesie Górne and Zimne Doły with the Uroczysko Stephana, Chojnów, Obory, Skarpa Oborska, Olszyna Łyczyńska and Łęgi Oborskie nature reserves. It also passes through Konstancin-Jeziorna on its way to Ursynów.

Shorter is the ten-kilometre Chojnowski szlak zabytków przyrody, which passes through the Chojnów, Pilawski Grąd and Uroczysko Stephana nature reserves. Another option is the 24.5-kilometre trail marked yellow and green, from Konstancin-Jeziorna to Góra Kalwaria and Czersk. It starts at the corner of Piłsudskiego and Sienkiewicza streets in Konstancin-Jeziorna; along the way, it passes through the Obory Nature Reserve, Słomczyn, Cieciszew and Dębówka. The stated lengths and routes offer concrete points of reference when comparing trails in Piaseczyński.

In the wider Piaseczyński destination, Czersk Castle represents an older building history: Duke Janusz the Elder had the medieval Gothic castle built around the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries on the site of an earlier fortification. Jezioro Czerskie lies at the foot of the castle, on its eastern side. The lake is a former oxbow of the Vistula and is entirely protected as a natural monument. Piaseczno’s town hall was built in the Neoclassical style in 1823; today, it houses the offices of the Muzeum Piaseczna.

In Konstancin-Jeziorna, Park Zdrojowy is located at the centre of the spa district. Its main avenue connects Piłsudskiego Street with the graduation tower. The tower opened on 21 July 1978; the evaporation of the brine creates a microclimate in its surroundings similar to that of the seaside. For families, the city’s park information also lists three playgrounds for children and young people, a volleyball court and an outdoor fitness machine. This means you can include parks and a range of trail destinations in your travel plans for Piaseczyński, alongside historical sites.
