Bełchatowski: Sport, Culture and Nature

• The green corridor along the Rakówka connects several districts with the city center and serves pedestrians and cyclists.
• The Jabłoniowy Sad on Okrzei Street combines apple trees and fruit shrubs with grapevines growing on pergolas.
• The Powiatowe Centrum Sportu includes seasonal sports courts, as well as an indoor swimming pool, a sports hall and an artificial-surface sports field.

The green corridor along the Rakówka connects Binków, Słoneczne, Edwardów, Okrzei and Budowlanych with the city center. Its role as a route for pedestrians and cyclists makes it a city attraction for anyone who enjoys spending time on foot or by bike. As the route may change, check it before setting out on a specific trip.

At Jabłoniowy Sad on Okrzei Street, there are apple trees of ten varieties and seven kinds of fruit shrubs; grapevines grow on wooden pergolas. Unlike the linear green corridor, the garden is defined by its varied plantings. The two places therefore offer different starting points for a trip that includes nature and activity in the city.

In summer, the Powiatowe Centrum Sportu has two tennis courts, as well as courts for basketball, handball, volleyball and badminton. There are also areas for table tennis with a synthetic surface. The center also includes an indoor swimming pool, a sports hall and an artificial-surface sports field. Its facilities cater to several sports and include different types of venues. Before visiting, check the current access rules and the availability of individual facilities.

In Mikorzyce, the ruins of a fortified manor stand on an island mound surrounded by a moat. In Postękalice, a wooden branch church dedicated to Saint Roch was built in 1737. The two examples differ in form and setting: one is a ruin on a raised site enclosed by water, the other a wooden church with a documented date.

The municipality’s history also includes three of the seventeen surviving reinforced-concrete field bunkers in the defensive system along the Widawka. They were built for the “Łódź” Army from June 1939 onward. In Łękawa, the palace and park complex includes an approximately square 18th-century palace set in the middle of a park. Together, these sites offer different historical points of interest, from defensive architecture to the architecture of a palace and park complex.
