Things to do in Blachownia: a reservoir on the Stradomka, the Lemon play centre and three 20th-century churches near Częstochowa.
Blachownia lies right beside Częstochowa and makes a calm goal for one afternoon. In summer head for the water, on a poorer day for a play centre with a cafe, and in between look at churches built through the whole of the 20th century.
At Blachownia Reservoir, which locals simply call the zalew. It is a shallow retention reservoir on the Stradomka covering forty-seven hectares, not far from the centre.
It holds around half a million cubic metres of water but is very shallow: the greatest depth is about two metres and the average about one. The Stradomka and the Trzepizurka feed it. For decades it has served as a place for walks and rest. No ticket is needed, and the scenery appeals to people who like quiet.
A good choice is the Lemon play centre at 1 Maja 6. It has a trampoline park, a monkey jungle, slides and ball pits for different age groups, and a cafe for parents.
The venue runs classes that develop creativity and social skills and organises birthday parties. The interior is done in bright colours, with plants, a small library and background music. Check opening hours on the venue's website before you go.
Three parish churches stand in Blachownia, built in different decades. The oldest is a brick church on Sienkiewicza Street, and the other two date from the end of the 20th century.
