Discover Czarnkowie

Discover Czarnkowie through its trails, landscapes and individual architectural features. The red Szlak solny hiking trail passes through the village; the „Polodowcowa Kraina Drawy i Dębnicy“ nature trail also runs through it and is suitable for cycling. Another cycling route, „Szwajcaria połczyńska“, winds between the scattered buildings through open fields and meadows. Half-timbered buildings and Wola Góra, one of the highest elevations in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, add to these trail-related attractions. To plan your visit, you can first decide whether hiking, cycling, nature or the village’s appearance will shape the way you explore Czarnkowie.

Hiking trails, cycling and landscapes

The red Szlak solny hiking trail passes through Czarnkowie. You can cycle along the nature trail; its loop through the village leads to a rest area with shelters and educational features. A section heading west turns west in Czarnkowie, crosses the Dolina Pięciu Jezior and leads to the Las Kluczewski complex. This route therefore connects the village with named landscape features: the Dolina Pięciu Jezior and the Las Kluczewski complex. The rest area with its educational features is another highlight of the loop.

The „Szwajcaria połczyńska“ cycling route offers a different kind of landscape. It runs through open fields and meadows between Czarnkowie’s scattered buildings. Unlike the western section of the nature trail, which leads to the Dolina Pięciu Jezior and the Las Kluczewski complex, this route focuses on open countryside and the settlement pattern. If you choose routes based on their surroundings, these descriptions offer different points of reference: open fields and meadows on the one hand, and the nature trail’s named landscape features on the other.

Half-timbered buildings in the village

The construction style is another distinctive feature of Czarnkowie: some buildings in the village are half-timbered. The area around these buildings is sometimes called „kraina szachulcowych chat“. The name links the construction style to its surroundings. If you would like to take in the village itself as well as its trails, this offers another way to explore Czarnkowie: not through a route or landscape feature, but through the visible construction style of individual buildings and the name associated with their surroundings.

Wola Góra and the fire observation tower

Wola Góra stands at 219.2 metres above sea level and is one of the highest elevations in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. A fire observation tower belonging to the Nadleśnictwo Połczyn-Zdrój stands at its summit. The observation tower is not open to visitors. Check this access information again before your trip. At the foot of the tower is a rest area with tables and shelters. When planning, you can clearly distinguish between the elevation, the inaccessible tower and the features described at the rest area.
