Eddie and I set off for Czachówek from home on our bikes. After half an hour, we were in Jazgarzewszczyzna, a village, which at 17 letters long, has the second-longest single-word place name in Poland
(above). [Siemieniakowszczyzna, at 20, is hard to beat.]
Trying to find a more direct route than the
one we took last time, we strayed too near the railway line south of Piaseczno and found ourselves cut off by rivers and fishponds.
Below: Eddie looking for a way out of a trackless field.
Finally, after about three hours, we arrived at Czachówek Poludniowy for the train home. Next station is Czachówek Górny, which overlooks the abandoned station at Czachówek Srodkowy (
below). To the east was another station, Czachówek Wschodni, now also abandoned.
