Slawa (Sława): Landscape Park, Horse-Riding Route and History

Slawa (Sława) offers several distinct starting points for planning a trip: a small landscape park, a memorial obelisk, a named horse-riding route and public transport services. There is also a historical event from nearby Łęgi. This brings local history and landscape together with a specific designated activity. These details can help you decide which aspects of Slawa you would like to focus on during your stay.

Local history spanning different periods

The small landscape park in Sława dates from the second half of the 19th century and covers 3.68 hectares, including the church grounds. Its date places the park in a much earlier period than the events commemorated by the obelisk in the village. The area gives you a sense of the park’s size, with the church grounds included in the total.

The obelisk in Sława commemorates the elimination of the “Kotła Świdwińskiego” and the liberation of the village of Sława in 1945. Its dedication connects two subjects of remembrance; the year refers to the liberation of the village. The monument thus marks a clearly dated historical point of reference in the village.

A separate event took place nearby in Łęgi: in 1469, the so-called “Bitwa o krowę” (Battle of the Cow) was fought between residents of Świdwin and Białogard. A competition result is also tied to a specific year: in 1998, Sława came second in the “Najpiękniejsza wieś gminy Świdwin” (Most Beautiful Village in Świdwin Municipality) competition. This dated competition result adds a municipal accolade to the area’s historical references.

Planning around the horse-riding route’s length and itinerary

The “Pętla wzdłuż doliny rzeki Regi” (Loop along the Rega River Valley) horse-riding route is a 10.6-kilometre loop from Sława via Kluczkówko to Cieszeniewo. The name indicates the type of activity, while the route length and sequence of places provide two specific details for planning. As a loop, its format differs from a simple connection between two places. If horse riding is one of your travel interests, this gives you a clearly identified option to consider in Slawa.

Distinguishing public transport services

Two public transport services stopping at Sława and Sława kolonia are listed for 2026. The Redło – Bronowo – Żołędno – Redło service stops at both places. The weekend service between Połczyn-Zdrój – Świdwin – Połczyn-Zdrój also serves both stops. Weekend operation is specified for the second service; the two can also be distinguished by their respective sequences of places.

The first route goes via Bronowo and Żołędno before returning to Redło, while the second lists Świdwin between the two Połczyn-Zdrój stops. If you are travelling by public transport, the stop name, route and weekend service are all relevant. As routes and services can change, check the current timetable before setting off.
