Zawiercie is part of the Silesian province and is the seat of the Zawiercie county government. Historians trace the beginnings of the town back to the end of the Middle Ages - the first mention of Zawiercie is in documents dating back to 1431. In recent decades, the town's history has been associated with heavy industry, foundry, glass and textile industries. The importance of industrial roots in the development of Zawiercie is evidenced by the graphic elements in the city's coat of arms. Despite the fact that historically the city is part of Lesser Poland, industry played a major role in Zawiercie's development due to its close proximity to the Dąbrowa Basin. Currently, the town is home to less than 50,000 people.
From a tourist point of view, Zawiercie is primarily a gateway to the central part of the Krakow-Czestochowa Upland and one of the largest urban centers in the area. It is a great base for exploring Jurassic treasures - original rock formations, medieval castles, climbing walls, biking and walking trails. There are dozens of designated routes for cyclists and hikers in Jura. This part of the highlands is also a good place for canoeing, fishing and, in season, mushroom picking. The local forests provide endless opportunities for those who appreciate being out in nature.
We already know that the city is an excellent place to explore the most beautiful parts of the Krakow-Czestochowa Jurassic Highlands. But what is worth seeing in Zawiercie itself? Visitors to this city have several options for spending their free time. The authorities of the place recommend a trip to the source of the Warta River - the third longest river in Poland. It is the river that gives Zawiercie its name. Fans of geography and hydrology can also see the sources of the Black Przemsza River. An interesting offer for lovers of modern art has been prepared by the Old Bath Gallery. While strolling around Zawiercie, it is worth visiting three parks - the Kosciuszko Park, the Mickiewicz Park, the OSIR Park and stepping into the St. John Paul II Square. Also noteworthy is the recently opened brine graduation tower. Enthusiasts of military buildings should direct their steps to the battle shelters on Panska Gora, and enthusiasts of historical buildings to the manor house in Bzow and the Bąkowiec castle in Skarżyce.
