Trails, rivers and pine landscapes

Otwock’s landscape combines sandy dunes with resinous pine forests near the Vistula and Świder rivers. The Świderski Szlak Wilegiatury Andriollego from Wolimontowice to Bojarowo and a garden city route from Soplicowo to Śródborów are the main routes for planning your trip.

Dwór Bojarów is an example of late-19th-century spa architecture and is described as one of the oldest buildings of this type in Otwock.
