Dobrzyca: Gardens, Labyrinth and Neo-Gothic Church

Dobrzyca brings together a variety of travel interests: the Hortulus themed gardens, a Neo-Gothic church building and three named routes that pass through the village or connect it with other places. When planning your holiday, you can first decide whether gardens, architecture or the routes mentioned are your priority. If you are planning a trip with several travellers, you can weigh up these interests together. When looking for a holiday apartment in Dobrzyca, you can take the mix of these themes you want into account as part of your choice of destination.

Gardens and Labyrinth

The Hortulus themed gardens in Dobrzyca have been laid out since 1992. Nearly 30 separate garden areas cover a total of about 4 hectares. The number and area offer two different measures: the first describes how the gardens are divided into individual areas, while the second indicates their approximate total area. This means the focus is not on a single garden space, but on a garden complex made up of many areas. For travellers who like to choose a destination based on a specific activity, the number of areas gives a different impression from a simple area measurement: it points to the complex’s internal layout.

The hornbeam maze at Ogrody Hortulus Spectabilis in Dobrzyca was created in April 2003 from 18,000 two-year-old hornbeam seedlings. It covers 1 hectare; the walls are 2 metres high, and the paths have a combined length of more than 3.2 kilometres. These details describe both the origins of the maze and its dimensions: the number and age of the seedlings relate to its creation, while the height and length of the paths describe its spatial form. The area and total length of the paths are different measures; together, they illustrate the scale of the maze. Unlike the number of separate garden areas in the Hortulus themed gardens, the focus here is on wall height and the network of paths.

Neo-Gothic Church Building

The Church of the Holy Trinity in Dobrzyca is a Neo-Gothic church dating from 1867. Its architectural style and construction date give you two specific points of reference when looking at the church building: the style classifies it architecturally, while the date places it in the 19th century. This historic building adds another dimension to the garden and labyrinth themes. If architecture is one of your holiday interests, you can also choose Dobrzyca with that in mind.

Three Routes with Dobrzyca on Their Itineraries

The three named routes differ in their names and the places they pass through. The Szlak wiatraków runs through Dobrzyca and connects Tatów, Popowo, Dobrzyca, Strachomino, Łopienica and Pleśna. The Szlak Pałaców passes through Dobrzyca, among other places, and connects Mostowo, Rosnowo, Niedalino, Trzekęcino, Bardzlino, Białogórzyno, Nosowo, Parsowo, Świemino, Warnino, Wierzchomino, Dobrzyca, Śmiechów and Gąski. The Szlak Romantyczny connects Dobrzyca, Strzepowo, Strachomino and Rusowo. Dobrzyca is the place all three routes have in common; the other places on their itineraries differ. Pleśna is on the Szlak wiatraków, Rosnowo on the Szlak Pałaców, and Strzepowo and Rusowo on the Szlak Romantyczny. You can therefore also choose a route based on which of the places mentioned you have in mind for your plans. Please check local route information before setting out.
