Zawady connects a precisely dated chapter of 1920 history with two routes to the first Polish defensive line, each described differently. When planning your trip, it is worth considering the historical context and route details separately: one route is marked blue and starts and ends in Radzymin; the other is a tourist cycling route whose described course leads to the outskirts of Zawady.

Zawady and the History of 1920

Zawady, on the Rządza River, was part of the first Polish defensive line during the fighting near Radzymin in 1920. On the night of 12–13 August 1920, the Polish forward positions in Zawady were withdrawn to this first defensive line. Zawady’s role in the fighting near Radzymin included its place in the first Polish defensive line and the withdrawal of the Polish forward positions to this line on the night of 12–13 August 1920.

Two Routes with Different Courses

The blue, approximately 30-kilometre route, “Szlak niebieski na I linię polskiej obrony Warszawy w Bitwie pod Radzyminem im. majora Stefana Waltera,” starts and ends in Radzymin and passes through Zawady. The route is dedicated to Major Stefan Walter and leads to Warsaw’s first Polish defensive line during the Battle of Radzymin. Radzymin is both the starting point and the endpoint; Zawady lies along the way between them.

A tourist cycling route to Warsaw’s first defensive line also passes first through a built-up area and then across fields to the outskirts of Zawady. There, it reaches the second Radzymin–Kuligów road. This makes it easier to determine which route details are relevant to your plans. Check current conditions before using the cycling route. The location of each route is key to choosing between them: the blue route passes through Zawady and starts and ends in Radzymin. The tourist cycling route goes as far as the outskirts, where it reaches the second Radzymin–Kuligów road. This helps you decide whether passing through the village or reaching the named point on its outskirts is more important for your plans.

Planning and Accommodation

The Radzymin municipality lists a playground in Zawady. If a visit is important to your plans, check its current operating status in advance.
