Discover Pęgów: Culture, Festivals and Family Activities

You can get to know Pęgów through several distinct facets: a neo-Gothic brick palace, a sensory trail, activities for families and recurring outdoor festivals. This mix may be of interest when choosing a holiday destination in Poland if, alongside activities to enjoy together, you would also like to factor local culture and events into your plans. Some activities are specifically aimed at families with children or school groups; others tell the story of the town. These different themes give you a starting point for organising your travel interests.

Architecture and Local History

The palace in Pęgów is a neo-Gothic brick building. Its architecture adds a distinctive feature alongside the town’s leisure and event offerings. Pęgów also has a strawberry-themed monument commemorating its 2012 title, “Najpiękniejsza Wieś Dolnego Śląska” (“Most Beautiful Village in Lower Silesia”). Strawberries therefore feature in two different contexts: as a motif of remembrance at the monument, and in the name of the festival “Święto Truskawki”.

Recurring Festivals in Pęgów

The “Święto Truskawki” and the “Jesienny Jarmark Osobliwości” are regular outdoor festivals in Pęgów. If you are interested in local events, the two names offer different thematic points of interest. If you plan your trip around a festival, check the dates of each event in advance.

At the “Święto Truskawki”, held on 2 June 2018 at the sports ground in Pęgów, visitors could buy fresh fruit, homemade bread and other products from local producers. This describes what was on offer at that specific festival; for a future visit, check the latest dates and information about the festival. This keeps the memory of the food on offer then separate from planning a new trip.

Activities for Families and Groups

The “Kruczyna” centre offers felt-making workshops for organised groups and families with children. The Mini Zoo in Pęgów also caters to families with children and school groups. Activities offered on the site include horse-riding and art classes. The two venues thus offer different themes to consider when planning: creative work in the felt-making workshops, as well as the Mini Zoo’s attractions and the classes mentioned there.

Another option is the “Bosą Trasę”, a sensory trail in Pęgów. It complements the workshops and classes with a different kind of experience. Together, these activities give families and groups a range of specific things to do during their time in Pęgów, without requiring them all to take part in the same kind of activity.

Swimming Area and Camping at Glinianki

The “Glinianki” recreation and leisure centre in Pęgów has a swimming area and camping facilities. Camping is therefore explicitly listed as one of the local overnight accommodation options. If you are considering this option, check availability in advance. The swimming area and campsite are two separate aspects of the centre that you can take into account according to your travel plans.
