Summary[edit]

Description
English: Polish reenactors dressed in replica uniforms and equipped with field gear and weapons used by the Wehrmacht Heer, the army of Nazi Germany, during a historical reenactment of a battle fought between German and Polish military forces in 1939 at the beginning of the Second World War. Motorcylicists on military motorbike with armed sidecar, etc.
  • The 5th Cavalry Picnic (V Piknik Kawaleryjski W Bliżynie na Świniej Górze), organized by the Bliżyn Municipality, was held on April 26th, 2014 in the Suchedniowsko Oblęgorski Landscape Park. The event honored the last regular formation of the Polish Army in 1939, led by Major Henryk Dobrzański "Hubal," and included a historical reenactment of the Battle of Rosochy by the Kielce Volunteer Cavalry Squadron, named after the 13th Vilnius Uhlans Regiment, as well as displays of cavalry and infantry combat. Despite the option to travel by horse, bike, or foot, most participants arrived by car due to rain. The event began with a mass for fallen soldiers, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony and displays of cavalry and infantry combat. Attendees also enjoyed weapon demonstrations, infantry combat, and a military-style pea soup, concluding with singing patriotic songs.
  • During World War II the forests around Bliżyn were a mass murder site of Polish intelligentsia during the so-called AB Action. After the war the forests were made into the Suchedniów-Oblęgorek Landscape Park. There are also two forest nature reserves: Świnia Góra and Dalejów located south of Bliżyn in Puszcza Świetokrzyska (Holy Cross Forest).
