Czerwonka: Hiking Trail, Monuments and the Pilica Region

Czerwonka combines a hiking trail with varied terrain and several historic memorial sites. Hiking Trail No. 15 runs through the village; at the edge of Czerwonka, it passes a monument to Polish soldiers. There is also a monument to the residents of Grabów nad Pilicą municipality who were murdered during the Second World War, and a red sandstone monument to Stanisław Lachtara. For planning your trip, the village offers a clear focus on landscapes, hiking routes and history.

Hiking Trail No. 15 through Czerwonka

Hiking Trail No. 15 runs from Warka PKP via Wymysłów, Czerwonka, Stare Cychry, Anielin, Rozniszew and Zagroby to Mniszew. Within the municipality, the trail passes through Wymysłów and Czerwonka. Its landscape is characterised by geomorphologically interesting areas with varied terrain. If you would like to combine your stay with hiking, you can use this sequence of villages and the route through Czerwonka as a starting point for further trip planning.

Historical events also shape the route: it passes through places where Kononowicz’s insurgent unit fought in 1863 and where the 1st Polish Army fought in 1944. The years refer to different events and periods. As well as offering scenic landscapes, the route provides an opportunity to learn about the history of the places it passes through.

Monuments and historic memorial sites

At the edge of Czerwonka, Hiking Trail No. 15 passes a monument to the Polish soldiers who fell in 1944 at the Warka and Magnuszew bridgehead. Another monument in Czerwonka commemorates the residents of Grabów nad Pilicą municipality who were murdered during the Second World War. The two memorial sites mark different events: one commemorates soldiers who fell at a specific location in 1944, while the other remembers the municipality’s murdered residents.

Czerwonka is also home to a red sandstone monument to Stanisław Lachtara, chief of staff of the GL Radom district, also known as “Łysy Stach.” Together with the other two memorial sites, it creates a historical focus that can be distinguished from the scenery along the hiking trail. If you are considering Czerwonka as a holiday destination, you can decide whether to focus your trip mainly on the hiking route, the historic sites or both.

The Pilica in the wider area

If you would like to include a water-based activity beyond Czerwonka, the Pilica is nearby. Canoe trips on the river are organised by the Warka PTTK branch, and kayaks can be transported to designated launch points. The lower Pilica water route is 79 km long. The section from Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą to Mniszew runs partly along the boundary between Warka and Grabów nad Pilicą municipalities. In the wider area around Czerwonka, the lower Pilica adds a regional waterway to the hiking trail and monuments.

Which focus suits your trip?

When searching for a holiday apartment in Czerwonka, these different highlights can help you choose a destination: the hiking trail and monuments are suited to a trip centred on landscapes and history. The Pilica offers an additional perspective on the wider area, where canoe trips are also organised. You can decide in advance whether to focus your trip on Czerwonka or consider the wider context of the lower Pilica, without combining the two into a single excursion.
