Cichowo

Cichowo combines waterside experiences with film history and a ride through the park of the manor and palace complex. On Lake Cichowo lies Plaża Główna, a bathing beach; Soplicowo and the park railway are also among the area’s special attractions. Families can choose between a day at the lake, cultural experiences and a train ride together.

The lake and summer activities

In summer, you can swim in Lake Cichowo. Plaża Główna is the bathing beach on the lake and provides a specific place to head for when enjoying the water in Cichowo. There are also watersports and other leisure activities on the lake. Swimming and other activities on the water appeal to different interests: if you mainly want to spend time by the water, you can make that a focus when planning your trip; if you are visiting Cichowo for its cultural side, you will find a different way to experience the place as well. Which water activities you include in your plans depends on what you want to do while you are there.

Soplicowo: film history and events

Cichowo’s cultural connection leads to Soplicowo and the film “Pan Tadeusz.” The buildings of Soplicowo were built on the set of “Pan Tadeusz” and brought to Cichowo in 1999. This specific connection makes a visit here different from a trip to the lake: the focus is on a place’s connection with the making of a film. Every year, the Soplicowo Film Open-Air Museum (Skansen Filmowy Soplicowo) hosts numerous outdoor events and exhibitions, including the Soplicowski Fair (Jarmark Soplicowski). If you are interested in this side of Cichowo, you can plan your visit to Soplicowo with its events and exhibitions in mind.

The park railway and a route through Cichowo

The park railway is considered an attraction for children and adults. Trains depart from the Lipa or Soplicowo stations and travel through the park of the manor and palace complex in Cichowo. The train ride offers a unique perspective on the park; at the same time, it is a specific shared experience for families, different from a visit to the lake or Soplicowo.

The Dziesięciu Jezior Route offers another way to find your bearings. It passes the first buildings on the outskirts of Cichowo. From the paved road, you can turn right toward the village centre and visit Soplicowo there. The route thus combines a stretch along the edge of the village with the opportunity to include Soplicowo in your visit. If you choose this option, keep the turn-off described and the destination in the village centre in mind when planning your trip.

A stay with different highlights

A horse-drawn sleigh ride is one of the winter activities associated with Cichowo. It offers a seasonal contrast to summer swimming and adds to the picture of a place associated with water, culture and a variety of experiences. Choosing between summer at the lake, film history, the park railway and a winter activity can help you decide what kind of stay you want. When looking for a holiday apartment in Cichowo, you can start by considering which of these aspects matters most to your trip. For families, the park railway, considered an attraction for children and adults, offers an opportunity to enjoy an experience together; those interested in culture can focus on Soplicowo and its connection with “Pan Tadeusz.”
