The Legionowski district has many positive experiences in cooperating with local governments
from Europe. Our goal is to strengthen the current experiences connected with local policy, tourism, culture and history, and youth exchanges.
The Legionowski district is located at the border of Warsaw, covers 39 thousand hectares and has
115,000 inhabitants. It is composed of five communes: Legionowo, Jabłonna, Nieporęt, Serock and Wieliszew.The registered office of the district is located in Legionowoat ul. Sikorskiego 11 and managed by the mayor (starosta), Robert Wróbel.
The principal advantage of the district is the Zegrzyńskie Lake. It constitutes the main recreation and leisure location for the local inhabitants but, first of all, for the tourists from Warsaw.
The Zegrzyńskie Lake is used as sailing, agricultural, recreation, anti-flood and energy supply reservoir. Everyone can find something for themselves in the area. Fishermen and sailors can spend time practisingtheir hobbies. You can also try flyboarding, wakeboarding or windsurfing.
The Lake is connected to Narew and Vistula rivers and also to the Żerański channel, which allows tourist sailing in summer at the section from Warsaw to the Lake.
The Lake is surrounded by 12 cycling routes with the total length of 350 km. Apart from numerous sport, recreation and tourist centres, there is also a perfectly developed recreation and accommodation base of the Legionowski district which can host many guests.
From spring until late autumn, thousands of people come to the area every weekend. In order to meet expectations of the tourists, over ten sailing races are organised every year. The Lake has its website available at the address
The Legionowski district offers also extensive forest complexes and interesting architectural locations.
The communes of the district are intensively developing. The largest town, Legionowo, has nearly
50 thousand inhabitants and constitutes a young town body only 100 years old. It focuses mainly
on development and promotion of sport. There are two top league teams in Legionowo - Legionovia (women volleyball) and KPR Legionowo (men handball).
The Legionowski district is often visited by the representatives of partnering communes from other countries. During those meetings, we exchange experiences connected with everyday work of local governments. Every year,the district is also visited by children and teenagers from the partnering local governments.
The activities of the district management concerning expansion of international cooperation are supported by numerous education bodies having partners abroad. School youth exchanges are often accompanied by sports events and theatre festival. We have signed cooperation agreement with KosivnadLutugino from Ukraine and Braslav from Belarus.
The meetings are aimed not only at shaping open attitudes, but also establishing bonds between children and teenagers based on common interests and exchange of experiences. We wish to develop and strengthen such cooperation.
