Discover Słupsk: Nature, Trails and Culture
Accommodation in Słupsk
Słupsk offers several specific starting points for a trip: cycling routes that begin or end in the city, as well as landscape and cultural attractions at named locations. A 17-kilometer cycling route starts in Słupsk, while a kayaking route on the Słupia ends there. Other routes pass through a range of designated locations.
Nature and Protected Areas
The Słowiński National Park is home to shifting dunes, considered one of the few formations of their kind in Europe. The park is also designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve under the Man and the Biosphere Programme. The combination of a distinctive landscape feature and this protected status makes the park a clearly defined nature attraction for your trip. Numerous designated hiking trails offer another way to experience the park on foot. As individual routes may change, it is worth checking the latest trail information before planning.
In Pomerania, the “Dolina Słupi” Landscape Park is the only valley landscape park; the Słupia River flows through it. The park was established in 1981 in the Słupia catchment area and along its middle and lower reaches. Its purpose is to protect the area’s natural assets and rich cultural heritage and preserve their balance. This landscape park is therefore a destination within the broader region of Pomerania that is explicitly focused on conserving nature and culture.
Cycling, Hiking and Paddling
The Droga Książęca is 17 kilometers long and runs from Słupsk via Zębowo, Radęcin, Gać and Swołowo to Starkowo. The Jantarowy, Zwiniętych Torów and Słowińców cycling routes also run along the EuroVelo 10 section in Słupsk County. Routes and signs may change, so check the latest information before setting out on a bike ride. The yellow Dolina Słupi hiking trail is 95 kilometers long. It runs from Ustka via Bydlino, Słupsk, Dębnica Kaszubska, Konradowo, Gałąźnia Mała and Gałęzowo to Bytów. This gives you a 17-kilometer cycling route and a much longer route designated as a hiking trail, suited to different travel plans.
A 133.2-kilometer kayaking route runs along the Słupia, with ten landing stages, memorial obelisks and bivouac sites; the route ends in Słupsk. This makes navigating by water different from the cycling and hiking routes mentioned above: designated landing stages and bivouac sites are also part of the route description. Individual facilities may change, so check the latest information on the route and its facilities before planning a specific trip.
Museums in Swołowo and Kluki
The Museum of Pomeranian Folk Culture in Swołowo offers a visitor route through three farmsteads and two buildings in the village. During visits to selected permanent and temporary exhibitions, guests can take part in museum workshops and demonstrations of traditional crafts. The Słowińska Village Museum in Kluki presents the material and ethnographic culture of the Slovincians. Their thematic focuses differ: in Swołowo, the visitor route leads through farmsteads and village buildings, while Kluki focuses on the culture of the Slovincians.
