Chodel is currently a summer resort village with a reservoir and bathing area on the Chodelka River, located about fifteen kilometers from Opole Lubelskie. Interestingly, the town once possessed a municipal charter and was a private nobility property. A typical urban layout has survived to this day, with the market square and adjacent buildings. The dominant element of the market square is the XVI century Gothic-Renaissance Church of the Holy Trinity and the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with a 35-meter high tower. When visiting the impressive interior of the church, it is worth to take a look at the Baroque main altar and the XVII century baptismal font.

Near the market square there is a fish pond complex. The ruins of the Jesuit Church of Our Lady of Loreto have survived on one of the islands. The temple was known for the miraculous image of Our Lady of Loreto, brought from Rome, which was the object of worship of the local population. Today, the picture can be admired in the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The island with church ruins is one of the most beautiful and also the most atmospheric places in the area.

Chodel is also a paradise for fishermen. Fishing competitions are regularly organized at the town reservoir. It is also a favorite place of the tourists and residents looking for refreshment in the summer heat. There is a beach, bathing area, walking paths, and a number of amenities.
