Jabłonna: Palace Park, Vistula Route and Nature

The blue Trasa Nadwiślańska is 15 kilometres long. It starts at the sand pit in Jabłonna, runs mostly along the embankment on the right bank of the Vistula, passes Jezioro Kiepura and then enters the Ławice Kiełpińskie Nature Reserve. The palace park is open to all visitors. Guided tours of the palace and park are available to tourist groups by appointment.

The Trasa Nadwiślańska connects several clearly named landscape features along its route. It runs mostly along the embankment on the right bank of the Vistula, then passes Jezioro Kiepura before entering the Ławice Kiełpińskie Nature Reserve. Islands, sandbanks and the banks of the Vistula shape the landscape there. If you want to plan your trip around river scenery and nature, this route offers a concrete starting point for further planning.

The palace park, by contrast, is a garden landscape surrounding the palace: the English landscape park covers 46 hectares and contains more than 50 natural monuments. This number may change. The tree species listed include pedunculate oaks, small-leaved limes, European white elms, common ashes, hornbeams, honey locusts, European larches, white poplars and Norway maples. Jabłonna thus brings together two distinct nature experiences: the river route, with its islands and sandbanks, and the landscaped park with its varied tree population.

Historic park buildings that have survived to this day include a grotto, an orangery and a Chinese pavilion. The orangery is also a venue for exhibitions as part of cultural events. Alongside its garden landscape, the palace park therefore offers a cultural connection; the palace and park buildings can be viewed as an ensemble.

The park is open to all visitors. The palace and park complex currently serves as a conference and meeting centre for the Polish Academy of Sciences. Tourist groups can take guided tours of the palace, the underground rooms, the park and the orangery; advance booking is required. If a guided tour fits your travel plans, check current availability directly with the palace. Weekly parkrun events are also held in connection with the palace park. Check the current date if the run is important to your visit.

The nature trails in the municipality of Jabłonna can be explored on foot or by bicycle. You can get a sense of the Trasa Nadwiślańska from its own route; information about the municipality’s trails also provides guidance on different ways of getting around. This lets you plan around your interests without treating the river route and the park visit as the same experience.

If you are looking for a hotel in Jabłonna, first consider whether the Vistula landscape, the park or the cultural history of the palace complex is the main reason for your stay. Experiences range from natural features such as the embankment, sandbanks and tree population to guided group tours that require advance booking. Looking at these differences can help you shape your travel plans before you search for suitable accommodation.
