Landsberg An Der Warthe: Trails, Parks and Culture

Riverside trails, a viewing pavilion and a nature reserve offer concrete starting points for planning a trip to Landsberg An Der Warthe. The destination also has parks and cultural attractions. Depending on your interests, you can focus on walks, bike rides and exploring the city.

Trails along the Warta and Kłodawka rivers

Since 2019, a footpath and cycle path more than 700 metres long, part of the “Szlak Stolic,” has connected the eastern section of the Bulwary nad Wartą with the area below the Lubuski Bridge. Another route, the Ścieżka nad Kłodawką, runs from the Kłodawka’s confluence with the Warta to Chodkiewicza Street. The two routes therefore provide clear reference points for planning a walking or cycling trip: the first route is described by its length and destination area, while the second is defined by its two endpoints.

Along the Ścieżka nad Kłodawką are recreational areas with playgrounds, an outdoor fitness area and small squares. On the eastern side of the Bulwary nad Wartą are a bird aviary, a modern playground and a sundial. These details can help you choose different stops for your stay without conflating the two routes.

Green spaces and views

The Gorzowskie Murawy nature reserve is in the western part of the city and covers almost 80 hectares. Walking trails lead through a landscape of slopes, valleys and varied vegetation. The landscape features described include sandy dunes, heathland, forest and pine woods, as well as picturesque hills. From there, you can enjoy expansive views of the city or the Warta Valley. This combination of trails and open views makes the area a destination in its own right for spending time outdoors.

Another viewpoint is the viewing pavilion built in 1909 on Kozacza Góra. It is part of Parku Siemiradzkiego; from there, you can see the northwestern part of the city, including the cathedral and the Lubuski Urząd Wojewódzki. The pavilion is a popular destination for walkers. The same park also has an amphitheatre and a viewpoint; it is considered the oldest park in Gorzów Wielkopolski. Including parks and nature trails in your plans gives you a choice of different landscapes and views rather than just one kind of walk.

Culture and other experiences in the wider destination

In the wider destination of Landsberg An Der Warthe, Gorzów Wielkopolski lies on the banks of the Warta. Notable cultural landmarks include the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a red-brick building dating from the 13th century. Next to it, in the Old Market Square, stands a fountain named after Hermann Paucksch. Plaques set into the paving of the Old Market form the Gorzówer Aleja Gwiazd, honouring deceased artists and cultural figures from Gorzów Wielkopolski. These three places offer different ways to explore the city’s history and culture of remembrance.

A historic building and contemporary culture are also among the experiences to discover in the wider destination of Landsberg An Der Warthe. The white Spichlerz is a three-storey half-timbered building dating from 1723. The Miejski Ośrodek Sztuki organises contemporary art exhibitions and runs an art-house cinema; with 31 works, it has Poland’s second-largest collection of works by Władysław Hasior. The Filharmonia Gorzowska is the newest cultural institution in Gorzów Wielkopolski. Its modern building is glazed, and the concert hall’s acoustics are considered among the best in Poland.

Parks and getting around

The parks described in the wider destination of Landsberg An Der Warthe also vary in character: Park Kopernika occupies the site of a former municipal cemetery and preserves an Evangelical chapel from the late 19th century. Park Czechówek has a woodland character and a spring-fed pond. Park Górczyński has walking paths, children’s playgrounds, a street-workout area and a sand volleyball court. Park Słowiański features a high-ropes course, boules, walking paths and a downhill trail. The parks therefore offer everything from historical traces and landscapes to exercise and play.

A municipal tourism map from 2019 shows hiking, cycling and horse-riding trails in Gorzów Wielkopolski and neighbouring municipalities.
