What characterizes the landscape of Wola Ducka?
The Stok rises near the built-up area of Wola Ducka. Its deep streambed runs through wooded dunes before the stream empties into the Świder. The source, course and mouth are therefore distinct points of interest in the landscape. If you like comparing natural features when choosing a destination, the stream’s course provides a specific point of reference.
What historical connections are there?
The village’s founding dates back to 1473, when settlers from Duda near Karczew, a village that no longer exists, founded Wola Ducka. Another historical site lies nearby, to the east of the village. There, surrounded by forests, stands the “Różyce” manor house, built around the turn of the 20th century. It lies between the remains of a landscape park and a pond complex; both were part of the former residential estate. The village’s founding and the manor house point to distinctly different periods and offer two different historical points of interest for planning your trip.
