Discover Kobylec: cycling tours, lakeside routes and local experiences

Cycling tour and routes around Kobylec

The signposted cycling tour covers 22 km from Wągrowiec via Aleja Brzozowa (Szeroki Dukt), Bukowiec, Danabórz and Kobylec, as well as Durowo, before returning to Wągrowiec. Kobylec is therefore on the described circular route. An alternative is the 3 km route from Kobylec via Bartodzieje to Wągrowiec. These two descriptions give different route lengths and itineraries: the longer tour includes several place and route names between the start and return, while the alternative connects Kobylec, Bartodzieje and Wągrowiec. When planning, you can first decide which route best suits your plans.

Another option is the 11 km “Pętla Bukowiecka” route, which runs around Lake Kobyleckie. Its description also names sections of the route: it follows Plażowa Street, then turns east and runs along the southern edge of a forest. Its length, location around the lake and the stated landmarks make it possible to distinguish this route from the other routes described.

The “Kobylec–Kamienica” route is 10 km long and leads from Kobylec to Kamienica. It starts in Kobylec at the junction of Wągrowiecka and Plażowa streets. From there, it first follows Gajowa Street and Osiedle Bajkowe Street before turning towards Kamienica. Unlike the “Pętla Bukowiecka,” Kamienica is the destination here; the route also starts at a specifically named junction. If you would like to include routes in your trip, their lengths and directions provide a practical basis for choosing the right option.

Beach, playground and sports

Other experiences in Kobylec include a supervised beach and the Anakonda water slide. If you would like to spend time at the beach, this gives you a specific opportunity to enjoy the water in the town; the slide is a named attraction in its own right. A playground with rope elements is an option for families who would like to include a playground visit in their time in Kobylec. The Orlik sports complex also has multi-purpose sports courts. The beach, slide, playground and courts offer different ways to tailor your stay to your interests.

The Church of Blessed John Paul II

The Church of Blessed John Paul II is also part of Kobylec’s local history and religious life. It is a filial church of the Parish of St. Wojciech in Wągrowiec. It was built between October 2010 and December 2013. As a votive offering from the parish community and the Archdiocese of Gniezno, it is dedicated to the life, pontificate and elevation to the altars of John Paul II. Its period of construction and significance as a votive offering give the church a distinct cultural and religious connection. For travellers who would like to learn about a place’s history and religious heritage as well as its routes and leisure activities, it is another aspect to consider when exploring Kobylec.
