The Muzeum Regionalne in Pleszew houses the permanent archaeological exhibition “Z pradziejów Pleszewa i okolic”. Its title covers both Pleszew and its surrounding area. The museum also has a collection of paintings, drawings and gouaches by Marian Bogusz.

Zajezdnia Kultury is located in a restored locomotive depot at ul. Kolejowa 3. Its programme includes concerts, performances, exhibitions, film screenings and workshops. As the programme may change, check the specific dates before your visit. This lets you assess the cultural offerings of the museum and Zajezdnia Kultury in light of your interests, without assuming that both places focus on the same things.

“Leśna Pętla”, a Nordic walking route, runs through Leśny Park “Planty”. A separate marked hiking trail starts in Pleszew and runs via Lutynia to Dobrzyca; it is 18 km long. Before setting out, check locally whether this trail is currently marked.

The two options differ in both their names and the information given about them: “Leśna Pętla” is intended for Nordic walking, while the route to Dobrzyca is described as a hiking trail and is 18 km long. For practical planning, also bear in mind that the current markings for this longer route should be checked locally.

The wider Pleschen destination offers additional architectural and cultural attractions. Pleszew Town Hall was built in 1835 in the Neoclassical style. The eastern part of St Florian’s Church is a Gothic section dating from before 1444. Pleszew Regional Museum is housed in a former coaching inn, built around 1820–1830.

Themed museums also explore different aspects of regional history. The “Kuźnia Zawodów” Craft Museum presents tools, equipment, photographs and documents relating to crafts in the Pleszew region. The Bakery Museum explains how bread is made and displays old bakery equipment, including three ovens for bread and confectionery. The convent museum of the Służebniczki Sisters displays embroidery, tools and documents from the domestic science school run by the congregation since 1923.
