Nowa Karczma: Lakes, Routes and History

Lakes, Routes and Culture Around Nowa Karczma

In Nowa Karczma and the surrounding municipality, a lake landscape, various routes and cultural sites come together. When planning your trip, you can consider whether you would like to focus on a particular route, nature or history. Details of three routes offer different points of reference: a combined hiking and cycling route, a cycle path and a Nordic walking route. There are also exhibitions in nearby Będomin and memorial sites in Nowa Karczma.

Routes of Different Lengths

The combined hiking and cycling route Nowa Karczma–Nowy Barkoczyn is 5 km long. It connects the municipality’s administrative and service centre with Nowy Barkoczyn on Jezioro Barkocińskie. If you are looking for a route specifically described as suitable for hiking and cycling, this route offers a concrete starting point for your plans.

The “Szlak rowerowy im. Józefa Wybickiego” cycle path runs through Nowa Karczma municipality. One section runs from Jezioro Łąkie to Będomin and is 12 km long. The municipality also has the green Stolemowe Nordic walking route, which is 13.7 km long. Each figure refers to a specifically named route or a particular section; they should therefore be considered as separate route options. This lets you distinguish between cycling and Nordic walking when planning and take the stated distances into account.

Lake Landscape and Natural Areas

Nowa Karczma municipality has numerous lakes with a combined area of just under 300 ha. The lake area is a defining feature of the landscape; in addition, six areas of the European Natura 2000 ecological network are located within the municipality. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, nature and routes can be among the themes you base your holiday plans on.

Culture and History in Nowa Karczma and Będomin

In nearby Będomin, the Museum of the National Anthem presents the permanent exhibition “The History of Mazurek Dąbrowski” as well as the exhibition “Józef Wybicki and His Time”. The two exhibition titles offer an introduction to the history of the national anthem and to Józef Wybicki. Alongside the routes and landscape, this provides a distinct cultural focus to consider when planning your trip.

Nowa Karczma itself also has historical points of interest. The “Kościół p.w. św. Antoniego” church became a parish church in July 1984. It is on the right-hand side of the road from Kościerzyna to Nowa Karczma; its location can help you find your way along this route. In the centre of Nowa Karczma, a memorial chapel commemorates residents of the municipality who were murdered in 1939. It serves as a solemn reminder and preserves the memory of this event.

Getting Around During the Summer Holidays

The municipal timetable may also be relevant when planning your journeys: on weekdays during the summer holidays, it lists a circular route from Nowa Karczma via Śledziowa Huta, Grabowska Huta and Sztofrowa Huta, returning to Nowa Karczma. When planning your accommodation and activities, you can take this seasonal timetable into account as one of several considerations and tailor your specific travel plans to your own interests.
