Discover Piastów: Chapel and historic cycling routes
Accommodation in Piastów

Piastów at a glance
- The wooden chapel of pw. Matki Boskiej Częstochowskiej is located in Piastów on provincial road 807.
- The remains of a former German Protestant cemetery lie near the chapel.
- The black cycling route was established in 2009 and passed through Piastów.
- In 2024, the route of the “Piękna nasza gmina” cycle tour passed through Piastów and then returned to Żelechów.
What cultural traces define Piastów?
The wooden chapel is a named religious building in the village itself. The remains of the former German Protestant cemetery lie nearby and represent a different historical connection: not another building, but traces of a former burial ground. Visitors interested in local religious and memorial history can consider these themes separately while also seeing them as part of the same destination. The locations are precise: the chapel is in Piastów, and the cemetery remains are near the chapel.
How do the cycling routes differ?
Cycling enthusiasts can distinguish between two routes with different dates and itineraries. The black cycling route was established in 2009 and ran from Żelechów through Wola Żelechowska and Piastów to Wólka Ostrożeńska. In 2024, the route of the “Piękna nasza gmina” cycle tour ran from Żelechów through Nowy Kębłów, Budziska, Stefanów and Piastów, then via Nowy Goniwilk, Stary Goniwilk, Łomnica and Gózdek back to Żelechów.
The differences concern not only the places named, but also the nature of each description: for the black cycling route, Żelechów and Wólka Ostrożeńska are the stated endpoints; the cycle-tour route returns to Żelechów after passing through several intermediate places. The date 2009 refers to when the black cycling route was established, while 2024 refers to the cycle tour. This makes it possible to distinguish the two routes by time and location.
