Discover Szpęgawa

Szpęgawa can be discovered from two different perspectives: along a green hiking trail with historic stops, and through a specific culinary moment at a community festival. The route passes through the village; the food is part of the Święto Gminy Tczew on August 29, 2026. This brings together a perspective from the trail and an event with a precisely specified date. For visitors who like to know what makes a place interesting beyond its location, these are two clearly distinct points of interest.

A hiking trail with historic stops

The green Szlak Ziemi Tczewskiej im. Romana Klima hiking trail passes through Szpęgawa. Along the route are several old buildings that are former poniatówki. Their number makes these buildings a recurring theme along the route, rather than a single stop. For anyone who sees a walk as more than just exercise—as an opportunity to discover things—this adds a clear cultural dimension. The village can be experienced along a specific route whose buildings are historically identified; the term former poniatówki preserves their historical character.

The Chapel of Saint Mark the Evangelist

The chapel adds a single, more precisely defined place to the route. It is dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist and dates from the late 19th century. In contrast to the several former poniatówki, the focus here is on a religious building, its dedication, and a specific period. This gives culturally minded visitors two different points of interest along the same hiking trail: a group of old buildings with a historical designation and a chapel with a named dedication and date. These details give the walk a cultural and historical focus.

A culinary taste at the community festival

Another facet was on display at the Święto Gminy Tczew on August 29, 2026, in the park in Szpęgawa. Attendees could sample freshly baked bread by Kamila Kamrowska, a semifinalist on the show MasterChef. The municipality also provided bigos and a slice of bread with lard free of charge; both dishes were prepared by the DPS in Damaszka. The food scene thus brought together different contributions: freshly baked bread by a named baker and two free dishes provided by the municipality and prepared by the DPS. The culinary experience ranged from bread to bigos and lard and was part of this specific festival date.

These perspectives can help you choose where to stay: the hiking trail combines a walk with historic stops, while the community festival offers a culinary taste on a particular date. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Szpęgawa, you can decide how much the village’s setting matters to you based on whether the trail or the memory of this festival appeals to your travel interests.
