Discover Zblewo: Church, legends and trails
Accommodation in Zblewo
Zblewo brings together a distinctive church tradition, a local legend and trails for walking and cycling trips. The Hejnał, sounded from the church tower, adds a special note each day at 12:06 p.m. There is also the PRL Museum exhibition and routes with specific distance details. This lets you choose between cultural discoveries and active days for your trip—or include both in your stay.

Church and local culture
The Zblewo Hejnał sounds daily at 12:06 p.m. from the tower of the Church of St Michael the Archangel in Zblewo. Its fixed time makes it a distinctive local feature that marks the rhythm of the day in Zblewo in its own way. The same church also houses relics of Saint Adalbert. If you are interested in the religious history of the town, you will find two different points of interest here: the daily Hejnał and the relics.
Glacial erratic and legend
The glacial erratic Skamieniała Owczarka lies northwest of the centre of Zblewo. It is on private property—an important detail to bear in mind if you use the distinctive stone as a landmark. Local legend says that Skamieniała Owczarka is the petrified wife of a shepherd. After her husband cursed her, she turned to stone. This place therefore brings together two different perspectives: the location of the erratic and the legend associated with its name.
The PRL Museum exhibition in Zblewo can be visited by prior telephone reservation.
Walking and cycling routes
A signposted trail to the Dendrological Garden connects Zblewo and Wirty and is suitable for walking and cycling trips. The 17 km route runs via Borzechowo, Wirty, Radziejewo, Białachowo, Zblewo and Twardy Dół, before returning to Borzechowo. This precise sequence lets you follow the places mentioned when preparing your trip; the total distance also gives you a concrete guide for planning your day.
For cycling, a 24 km route along the Napoleonic Military Route is also associated with Zblewo and the sections to Twardy Dół, Miradowo and Starogard Gdański. The route details differ in both length and description: the trail to the Dendrological Garden focuses on the sequence of several places and the return to Borzechowo, while the cycling route covers the specified sections of the Napoleonic Military Route. This lets you plan your trip according to whether you would rather take the trail to the garden or follow the designated cycling routes.
Choose the right focus
When looking for a holiday apartment in Zblewo, the kind of trip you want can help guide your choice. If you would like to focus on culture and local history, the church, Hejnał, museum and legend offer different topics to explore. For more active days, the signposted trail to the Dendrological Garden and the cycling route provide further concrete ideas. You can also spread these activities across different days rather than focusing your stay on just one kind of discovery.
