Atmospheric places in Jaworzno are the triangular Main Square, the Sosina reservoir in a former pit and a stone railway bridge from 1848 in Maczki.
Jaworzno offers three very different moods: a city square, water in an old sand quarry and industrial architecture at a former frontier. All three fit a shared walk for two.
The Main Square in the Śródmieście district has an unusual triangular shape. One edge is formed by the collegiate church of Saints Adalbert and Catherine, another by a modern library building, and the space was renewed for pedestrians in 2012-2013. The town received its charter in 1901. For a swim, head for Sosina, a reservoir of 50 ha that formed in the 1960s after sand extraction. It has a guarded bathing area and water equipment hire, and 30 ha of woods and meadows surround it.
The railway bridge over the Biała Przemsza is a stone structure with six spans and a length of 70 metres, opened in 1848. You will find it where Jaworzno meets Sosnowiec, just past Sosnowiec Maczki station, once named Granica. It belongs to the former Warsaw-Vienna Railway.

Yes, a guarded bathing area operates in the south-western part of the reservoir, together with a water equipment rental point.
The square owes its shape to the old village green, the central open space of the village, visible on the town plan for centuries.
