Which themes match your interests?
The tree-lined avenues and the automotive museum offer different ways to explore Otrębusy. The avenues are a reminder of their former function as field avenues, providing a tangible connection to the landscape. The museum focuses on vehicles and technology.

You can therefore decide whether vehicle history, activities for children, or the landscape character of the avenues matters most to your trip.
