Magic of the places: Młochów

It was a one-day car trip from Warsaw. Winters aren't too cold in Poland lately, so -4 degrees mixed with light wind meant we'll have to walk fast not to freeze :)

We started with the Młochów XIXth Century palace&park complex - both originally designed by Jakub Kubicki. He's most famous work were the designs of Castle Square (Warsaw Old Town), Radziejowice Castle (reconstruction), Płock town hall and so on...

The palace is only possible the watch from the outside (as far as I know it's empty inside even though there were some plans for using it as a hotel/conference place), but it's worth seeing anyway.

The place is calm and beautiful, but I'll advice you to check it during spring or summer. I wonder how it looks, with the flowers and green trees - they are big and old, so I guess they look awesome with leaves and warm sun shining on them :D

Now to the forest!
There are two Nature Reserves "Młochowski grąd" and "Młochowski łęg"
It's located nearby, so if you like long walks, it's also a good idea to leave your car and go there no matter what season it is. The wind won't blow through the trees, so it's not that cold there, and the bright, winter sun was perfect for photos!

The first one is a second one is a 100% natural piece of the forest, where you can see oaks and pines mostly.

You can find this stone on the road's side. What is it?

According to mr. M. Zdurski (and the article citation he gives) some time ago a one-handed war veteran (lieutenant Andrzej Sławik) worked here as a forest ranger. He took part in Wał Pomorski headquarters defence (lost his hand there) and in the battle of Riazań (wounded on the head), which is why he's tomb is located on the Powązki Military Cemetery. While working as a forest ranger, A.S. had his 3rd heart attack, which killed him in the place where Franciszek Antonik - a teacher - with some friend's help left the stone to commemorate the soldier.
