Nowy SecyminLocated on the fringes of the Kampinos Primeval Forest, the village of Nowy Secymin has preserved some historic monuments from the period of Dutch colonisation, including several cottages and barns. You can also visit the colonists’ cemetery; take advantage of the wild Vistula beaches, the area’s biggest attraction; or hike or trek on horseback across the extensive meadows and through the Kampinos Primeval Forest.
Nowy Secymin TOURISM
Nowy Secymin is an ideal place for those seeking peace and quiet, a place where visitors find it hard to believe that the centre of Warsaw is a mere 40 km away! If you enjoy biking then why not take advantage of the numerous trails in the area. You can also fish in the Vistula or any of the nearby lakes, or perhaps pick mushrooms in the autumn. The Kampinos National Park offers the possibility of discovering rare species of animals and plants.
GEOGRAPHY
The village lies in the Masovian Voivodship, in the Leoncin community, on the north-western edge of the Kampinos National Park. It is situated just next to the Vistula levee, 40 km west of Warsaw and has a population of about 120.
HISTORY
Villages established by Dutch colonists survive in either better or worse condition alongside several rivers. Nowy Secymin, founded in the 18th century, is one of these villages, worthy of a visit for its well-preserved monuments of the former Dutch presence. |
