Bolimów Landscape Park, Rawka River Trail

The Rawka River Trail runs through Bolimów Landscape Park, on the border of Skierniewice and Sochaczew areas in western Masovian Voivodeship and neighbouring Łódź region, Poland. The trailhead is at Bolimów on ul. Główna. The park is known for the meandering Rawka river corridor, wet meadows and the Bolimów Forest, and for sites linked to the 1915 First World War battles, including memorials and remains of fighting along the front. Visitors from Warsaw can take a Koleje Mazowieckie or Intercity train from Warszawa Centralna to Skierniewice, taking about 55 minutes, and then a local bus to Bolimów. Drivers can park in the village. No permit is required for walking. The route is 10 to 16 km and takes three to five hours. The ground is flat with no meaningful elevation gain, but wet meadows and forest tracks can be muddy, which raises the difficulty to moderate in poor conditions. Surfaces include forest dirt, grassy tracks and some boggy stretches near the river. Forest sections offer shade, while meadows are open and exposed. Landmarks include the Rawka valley, forest memorials from 1915 and quiet woodland, and the walk can be turned around at any memorial or river crossing. Waterproof shoes and repellent are advisable, as mosquitoes are common near wet ground in summer. There are no refuge huts, and visitors should carry water, while shops and cafes in Bolimów offer refreshment before or after the walk. The area is calm and little visited, and signposting is limited in places, so an offline map helps.
