A hike to a monument at the intersection of the 18th meridian and the 53rd parallel gives Januszkowo a distinctive geographical connection. The black “18th Meridian” trail passes through the village to this destination. The approximately 37-kilometre “Cycling Around the Nowa Wieś Wielka Municipality” route also runs through Januszkowo. Walking and cycling therefore offer different route lengths to consider when planning your trip.

Hiking to a Geographical Destination

The walking trail runs from Nowa Wieś Wielka via Januszkowo and the Nowy Kanał Notecki to the monument at the intersection of the two geographical lines. The municipality describes the destination as an obelisk. This makes the meridian in the trail’s name tangible at its endpoint: the monument stands where the 18th meridian crosses the 53rd parallel.

A 2011 county hiking guide gives the “18th Meridian” trail a length of 10.2 kilometres. In December 2023, the municipality listed the black walking trail under the designation KP-4028–s as 10 kilometres long. The two distances belong to their respective descriptions. If you are planning the route, take the dates into account and check the route against current information before setting out.

A Longer Cycling Tour Through Januszkowo

The “Cycling Around the Nowa Wieś Wielka Municipality” route, created by the Nowa Wieś Wielka team, is about 37 kilometres long and passes through Januszkowo. Its name refers to a tour around the municipality, with the village along the route. By comparison, the black walking trail, at 10 or 10.2 kilometres, is considerably shorter. The route lengths and different ways of getting around can help you distinguish between the planned outings: walking to the geographical intersection or cycling along a longer route through the municipality.

Another Local Point of Interest

The 2023 municipal report mentions a playground in Januszkowo next to the Świetlica wiejska, the village community centre. This adds a local point of interest to the tours. For families who do not want to plan their trip solely around route lengths, this location can be considered as a separate part of their plans. It offers a different focus in the village without requiring you to combine walking, cycling and a stay in the area into a single activity.
