Jabłonna brings together two special aspects of a stay: paths through the Vistula landscape and a historic palace ensemble with an extensive park. When choosing the town for a holiday, you can therefore plan around different interests—nature and outdoor activities as well as park history and culture.

Paths along the Vistula

The blue, 15-kilometre Trasa Nadwiślańska runs mostly along the embankment on the right bank of the Vistula. It begins at the sand pit in Jabłonna. From there, the route passes Jezioro Kiepura and continues into the Ławice Kiełpińskie nature reserve. This makes the route a concrete way to get to know the Vistula landscape on a longer walk. Check the current condition of the route before setting out.

The protected area’s landscape includes islands, sandbanks and the Vistula riverbank. This outing therefore focuses on the natural environment of the river. The nature trails in Jabłonna municipality can be explored on foot or by bicycle. You can plan either a walk or a cycling trip; this information applies to the municipality’s trails and not automatically to every section of the Trasa Nadwiślańska.

Palace park, trees and historic buildings

Another side of the town is revealed by the 46-hectare English landscape park surrounding the palace. It contains more than 50 natural monuments; the number may change. The tree species listed include pedunculate oaks, small-leaved limes, wych elms, common ashes and hornbeams, as well as honey locusts, European larches, white poplars and Norway maples. The palace park is open to all visitors; check the current visiting conditions before you go.

Historic park buildings also shape the ensemble. A grotto, an orangery and a Chinese pavilion have been preserved. The educational trail in the palace park was originally created more than 20 years ago and later modernised. Nature and built heritage thus complement one another in the park: tree species and parkland sit alongside buildings that reflect its historic character.

The palace and park ensemble currently serves as a conference centre and meeting venue for the Polish Academy of Sciences. Cultural events at the palace include exhibitions in the orangery. Tourist groups can visit the palace, underground rooms, park and orangery with a guide; advance booking is required. If you are planning a visit, confirm current availability directly with the palace.

Nature or culture as the focus

The Trasa Nadwiślańska and the palace park offer different experiences: a longer route along the embankment, lake and river landscape on the one hand, and park buildings, trees and cultural activities on the other. Weekly parkrun events are also held in the palace park; check the current schedule in advance. Families with different interests can take these differences into account when choosing outings, without limiting their stay to just one kind of experience.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Jabłonna, it is worth asking which side of the town you would especially like to explore during your stay. If nature trails and the Vistula landscape are the priority, the route offers a clear point of reference. For those interested in park history and culture, the historic buildings, orangery and palace ensemble provide suitable landmarks. This lets you choose your destination based on the experiences you have planned, without assuming anything about the features of a particular accommodation.
