Hi everybody!
I would like to show you some nice place in my hometown and encourage you to visit this city.

At the beginning a few basic information.

Now let's take over the tourist attractions in my city! 

Niebieskie Źródła - Blue Springs Nature Reserve

It is famous for two pools fed by an underground spring which seem to "shimmer" or "ripple" at the bottom due to the action of entering water. The reserve gets its name from the unusual colour of the water. Spring water absorbs red waves, hence the light, reflected from the bottom, has blue-green colour.

Across the street is Pilica River Skansen 

The open-air museum of Pilica river is the first heritage park in Poland dedicated to a river. It is located near the Pilica river in the town of Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Łódź Vivodeship. It was created in 2000. It is located next to the Blue Springs nature reserve. The most important element is a wooden water-mill. The interior of the construction houses an exhibition about the traditions of water-milling in the area. Besides the mill, there is a gallery with more than 30 millstones. It is the biggest such collection in Poland. The museum includes exhibits from the nearby town of Spała, which is located on the Pilica river.There is a small building which was a tsarish toilet and also elements of the entrance gate to Spała. Later, all these items from Spała were joined by a guardhouse which was situated beside the President's residence in Spała in the period of the Second Polish Republic.

Groty Nagórzyckie 

 The caves are a remnant of an underground mine of glass sand, mined for construction and metallurgical needs in the eighteenth century and the beginning of the 19th century. The caves consist of numerous corridors, alcoves, alleys and halls. The largest excavation called the "Royal Hall" is 30 m long, 25 m wide and 3 m high. The widest cave is 160 meters long. Each grotto had a different name, eg Boczna, Borsucza, Chowańcza, Ciemna, Jeziorna, Niedźwiedzia, Taneczna, Złodziejska.

 According to the legend in Nagórzyckie Grotach, you can meet a mysterious man in checkered clothing and red stockings, around which bats fly. He may try to deceive the tourist and persuade him to evil, but it is better not to succumb to his devils' promptings :)
