Lakes and trails at the heart of your trip
Lakes Lubiąż, Krajnik and Lubniewsko have well-maintained beaches with swimming areas and moorings. The waters are suitable for sailing, swimming, surfing and windsurfing, offering a range of activities by the water. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Lubniewice, the balance you want between time at the lake and excursions can be a useful starting point for planning your holiday.
There are also several distinct hiking options. The 14 km blue trail around Lake Lubniewsko starts at a trail junction by a lakeside bay and ends in Lubniewice at a historic bookshop. Another blue route is 21.1 km long: it passes through Lubniewice and continues through the “Uroczysko-Lubniewsko” landscape complex and along Lake Lubniewsko. These details refer to two different trails; their lengths and routes can help you choose the right one for your day’s plans.
The red trail is 8.9 km long, starts and ends in Lubniewice, and goes around Lake Lubiąż. The 4.8 km black trail runs from “Stary Zamek” in Lubniewice around Lake Krajnik to the municipal office. If you are looking to connect with other destinations, the 10.9 km green trail links Lubniewice with the Janie Nature Reserve and the MASTER equestrian centre. The different lengths and route descriptions provide concrete guidance for fitting hikes into your stay.
The European R-1 cycle route also passes through Lubniewice, with 9.8 km of the route running within the municipality. This adds a cycling route to the hiking trails, which you can take into account when deciding whether to explore the surrounding area on foot or by bike.
Castle complex, park and local history
Among the sights is the castle complex, comprising “Stary Zamek” and “Nowy Zamek”. Between the two castles, on the shore of Lake Lubiąż, lies Miłości Park, named after Dr Michalina Wisłocka. The restored Mostek Miłości (Bridge of Love) is located there. Visitors can attach padlocks to the bridge as a symbol of the enduring nature of their feelings—a distinctive detail for anyone looking for a special place during a walk.
In the town centre, the Church of the Holy Cross stands on the western side of the market square. The von Waldow family built it in the second half of the 14th century. The castle complex, park and church offer different ways to discover Lubniewice’s history and character, so your stay need not be limited to hiking or water activities.
Nature and special events
The “Janie im. Włodzimierza Korsaka” Nature Reserve is nearby. It protects a lake that is gradually silting up, with characteristic aquatic and marsh vegetation, and serves as a habitat for numerous waterbird species. Those interested in wetlands and birdlife will find another natural attraction here, alongside the lakes and pine forests.
Folkowe Lubniewice takes place every year in Miłości Park. Concerts in the town market square were also planned for one edition. The festival adds a special event to the area’s natural and cultural attractions; be sure to check the specific plans for your travel dates separately.
