A green cycle route runs through Bachórz, a Neo-Romanesque church offers a tangible historical landmark, and the railway museum combines visits to rolling stock and buildings with a ride on the narrow-gauge railway. This makes it possible to tailor a stay to different interests: a cycling route through the village, church architecture or a railway experience.

Church Architecture and Local History
Bachórz is home to the brick Neo-Romanesque Church of St. Wojciech and the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was built in 1871 and funded by Wanda Ostrowska. Neo-Romanesque refers to the later revival of Romanesque architectural forms. The style places the building in an architectural context; the year of construction and its benefactor add specific historical points of reference. For travellers interested in architecture and local history, the style, period of construction and endowment emerge as distinct aspects. The church’s name brings together two dedications, distinguishing its religious naming from the building’s Neo-Romanesque architectural classification. “Brick” describes the construction method, while “Neo-Romanesque” describes the church building’s later architectural style; the two terms refer to different characteristics of the building.
Railway Museum and Narrow-Gauge Railway
The railway museum in Bachórz offers the chance to see rolling stock and buildings, as well as to ride along a nearly 100 km section of the narrow-gauge railway. The excursion therefore focuses on both the rolling stock and buildings on site and the journey along the line. Check with the operator to see whether rides are available on your chosen date. In the wider surrounding region, the railway excursion passes through a 602 m-long tunnel near Szklar. This detail can be placed geographically: the tunnel is near Szklar, while the museum is in Bachórz.
Putting the Route Figures into Context
The figures refer to different things: approximately 17 and 27 km are the approximate lengths of the cycle routes; nearly 100 km refers to the section of the narrow-gauge railway on which a ride is possible. Near Szklar, the railway excursion passes through a 602 m-long narrow-gauge railway tunnel.
