Green Velo

Twenty-four kilometres west of Końskie, in Maleniec, on the Czarna River, there is an over two hundred year-old complex of rolling mills and nail plants. This historical stock of machinery, set in the natural countryside landscape, dates back to 1836.

At that time it included some rolling mills and 11 small and 4 big nailing machines for the production of nails cut from steel sheets. Due to the modernisation which took place at the end of the 19th century, the plant was equipped with other machines for procuction of spades and shovels. The most interesting items, perfectly preserved up to the present, are: the production cycle of rolling steel sheets and manufacturing household tools, the houses of the rolling mill, the nail plant and the spade manufacture plant dating back from 1839 as well as some unique machines. A special technological and tourist festival – Kuźnice Koneckie, where one can see all the historical machines and equipment running, is held there every July.

The facility has its own accommodation rooms with full accommodation facilities, including a kitchenette, household appliances, and full kitchenware. There is an 80-person, fully equipped with multimedia equipment, conference and banquet room next to the building. Guests can also use a brick grill, a roofed picnic area, a pond with fishing stands. There are numerous cycling and hiking paths nearby. The facility is located in the protected area "Natura 2000".
