Czechowice-Dziedzice

Czechowice-Dziedzice is an industrial city in Silesian Voivodeship situated in the Upper Vistula Valley. The settlement spreads across the confluence of the Biała, Ilownica, and Vistula rivers, forming a natural meeting point of waterways.

The settlement was founded in 1307 as two distinct villages under different legal systems. It later developed into a significant transportation hub, particularly with the expansion of railway networks in the region.

The late-Baroque Saint Catherine Church shapes the city center with its distinctive early-18th-century design. This landmark reflects the religious traditions that have remained central to community life over the centuries.

The city functions as a major railway junction with four stations connecting east-west and north-south routes. Visitors can reach the city easily by train and navigate between different areas using public transportation connections.

The area is crossed by three marked bicycle routes that follow different river valleys through the surrounding landscape. Cyclists can explore the natural terrain and water passages that define the region on these paths.
