Discover Drawsko Pomorskie

Medieval buildings around the market square

The Old Town preserves a medieval street plan, with the market square at its centre. Beside the square stands the Late Gothic Church of the Resurrection of the Lord. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Drawsko Pomorskie and was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. Its 75-metre-high tower is a striking feature of the building. The side portals are notable for their distinctive bestiary depictions—a detailed aspect of the church that draws attention to its design beyond its size and age.

The medieval fortifications are also part of the town’s history. Construction of the walls began in the early 14th century. They had four defensive towers and were reinforced by bastions. Together with the surviving medieval street plan and the church, they give a clear impression of how strongly historic structures shape the character of Drawsko Pomorskie. If you enjoy focusing on architectural history and urban form when travelling, these features offer specific points of interest.

Local history in the Salt Warehouse

The Salt Warehouse offers another perspective on the past: since 2018, it has housed keepsakes relating to the history of Drawsko Pomorskie. The museum in the Salt Warehouse also organises workshops, meetings and conferences dedicated to protecting and promoting cultural heritage. Alongside the historic buildings, this brings the preservation and communication of the town’s cultural heritage into focus. For your trip, this offers a cultural and historical focus that is not based on architecture alone.

Cycle routes with different distances and profiles

Three cycle routes differ considerably in length and described course. The red “Wokół jeziora Lubie” cycle route is 50 kilometres long and starts and ends in Drawsko Pomorskie. As a circular route, it returns to its starting point. The blue “Wzgórza Moreny Czołowej” circular cycle route is 58 kilometres long and also starts in Drawsko Pomorskie. Along the way, it passes through end-moraine and ground-moraine landscapes shaped by the Ice Age. If you want to take the character of the landscape into account when choosing a route, this one has a course explicitly shaped by glacial landforms.

At 27.2 kilometres, the green “Parki Krajobrazowe” cycle route is shorter than the other two routes described. It runs from Drawsko Pomorskie to Ińsko, linking Iński Landscape Park with Drawski Landscape Park. These details let you make a clear distinction by distance and course: a 50-kilometre loop, a 58-kilometre circular route through moraine landscapes, or the 27.2-kilometre connection between two landscape parks. They do not indicate how long the routes take or how difficult they are; your choice can initially be based on which type of route and landscape interests you.

Park and hiking landscapes

Fryderyk Chopin Municipal Park was established in 1875 and extends from a bend in the Drawa River. Its history and location by the river bend offer a different focus from the medieval buildings or longer cycle routes. The green “Jezior Drawskich” hiking trail also runs around Drawsko Pomorskie in the surrounding area. Its landscape includes moraine hills and river valleys, as well as a chain of lakes in the Drawskie Lake District. This lets you distinguish between an attraction in town and a hiking route in the surrounding area, without combining them into a single route.

For travel, National Road 20 offers a geographical point of reference: it runs through Drawsko Pomorskie and connects Stargard with Szczecinek. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Drawsko Pomorskie, you can weigh the documented starting points of the cycle routes, the town’s historic character, and your interest in culture or landscape as distinct reasons for choosing the destination.
