Masłów

Masłów Airfield has operated as a sports airfield since 1937. The certified flight training centre of the Aeroklub Kielecki offers training in powered flight, gliding and skydiving at the airfield. A nearby hiking destination is the protected rock outcrop Diabelski Kamień on the Klonówka ridge. In Masłów, a memorial stone and an obelisk commemorate John Paul II and his visit in 1991.

The airfield gives the village a distinctive point of interest: it is not only described as a sports airfield, but has also been in operation since 1937. The Aeroklub Kielecki flight training centre offers three different types of training there: powered flight, gliding and skydiving. If you choose Masłów as a destination because you are interested in aviation, you can consider these offerings a concrete part of the village’s character.

The three areas represent different forms of flying and skydiving. They broaden the picture of a place that can be explored through more than just hiking trails and cultural sites. This information relates to training at the airfield; these activities are distinct from the places of remembrance and hiking destinations that appeal to other interests.

Nearby is Diabelski Kamień, also known as Wielki Kamień. The rock outcrop consists of Upper Cambrian quartz sandstone and has been protected since 1954. It is located on the Klonówka ridge and can be reached on foot from Masłów or Ameliówka via the red hiking trail in about an hour. The approximate walking time gives you a concrete reference point for planning your day; it refers to the route to the rock outcrop.

There are more hiking and cycling trails in the municipality. Hiking and cycling trails intersect at the Lubrzanka Gorge, between the slopes of the Radostowa and Dąbrówka mountains. The “On the Masłowki Chain” hiking trail runs through Masłów Pierwszy. If you are planning your trip primarily around nature and hiking, you can consider these places and routes separately when making your selection.

Two places in Masłów commemorate Pope John Paul II’s visit in 1991. An obelisk near the church commemorates the visit. An inscription on a memorial stone to John Paul II reads “Pamiątka pobytu Jana Pawła II w Masłowie 3 czerwca 1991 r.”; it gives the date as 3 June 1991. This provides a specific date on the stone, alongside the reason for its dedication.

The church in Masłów was built between 1927 and 1937. The Church of the Transfiguration in Masłów was designed by Jan K. Sas-Zubrzycki. The municipality is also home to the Szklany Dom Stefan Żeromski Education Centre complex in Ciekoty. It comprises a reconstruction of a traditional Polish manor house and Szklany Dom, which has training and workshop rooms. Thus, the municipality’s cultural offerings include both ecclesiastical architectural history and an education centre with two distinct buildings.
