Milowka

• A cycling route about 5 km long runs through Milowka along the Soła; its elevation gain is 25 metres.
• Gminny Park is on the banks of the Soła and covers about three hectares.
• Posiady Gawędziarskie is a three-day event held every year in November.
• The “Stara Chałupa” Museum is closed until further notice for renovation work.

The brick Church of the Assumption of Mary is a prominent part of the town’s history. Its construction dates are clear: work on the present-day church began in 1834 and was completed in 1839. It is classified as being in the so-called Vistula style. Before that, the wooden church served the community until the first half of the 19th century. Anyone interested in the development of religious architecture will find two successive chapters in the town’s history here, along with a clearly defined transition in time.

Posiady Gawędziarskie is another cultural highlight. The three-day event takes place every year in November. Stories are told in the regional dialect, and the programme also includes a competition featuring unique folk instruments. Culture enthusiasts can therefore plan to attend an event that brings together oral storytelling and music. The “Stara Chałupa” Museum, by contrast, has been closed since March 2026 for renovation work and will remain so until further notice.

The cycling route, about 5 km long, runs through Milowka along the Soła and has an elevation gain of 25 metres. These figures describe the route’s length and elevation gain, without specifying a particular riding time. If you include the route in your travel plans, you can use its roughly five kilometres as a concrete guide when planning your day.

Another option for cyclists is the pump track by the Soła. It connects to an existing cycle path and is used to train for riding in hilly terrain. Inline skaters, skateboarders and scooter riders can also use the pump track. The two cycling options therefore serve different purposes: the route runs through Milowka, while the pump track is for training and can be used with a range of wheeled sports equipment.

Gminny Park is on the banks of the Soła and covers about three hectares. Facilities include a health trail with exercise equipment and a ropes course. Its 27 obstacles are spread across two routes with different difficulty levels. The routes are intended for people taller than 160 cm. This height requirement is particularly important when choosing a ropes-course activity; the two difficulty levels describe different route options, not general suitability for every travel group.

You can choose how to enjoy the park based on your interests: the health trail offers exercise equipment, while the ropes course has obstacles across two routes. Together with the cycling route and pump track, these offer an active counterpoint to the cultural and historical attractions of the church and the November event.
