Skrzaty and the Nature and Activity Destinations of Drawno Municipality
Accommodation in Skrzaty
If you are considering Skrzaty as a place to stay, you can also include the nature and activity destinations in the area of the associated municipality of Drawno in your travel plans. These include a national park, a protected woodland complex, and cycling, horse-riding, hiking, and canoeing routes. The offerings differ in their landscape, route, length, and—where the canoe sections mentioned are concerned—difficulty.
Natural areas and hiking trails
The Drawieński National Park and the protected, ancient Puszcza Drawska woodland complex lie within the municipality of Drawno. Both offer distinct natural features to consider when planning a trip to the region: the national park and the woodland complex, whose history stretches far back. A total of 77 kilometres of trails are listed for hiking in the Drawieński National Park and its surroundings. This length refers to the park and its surroundings together, not to a single route.
A marked circular cycling route in the shape of a figure eight also runs within the municipality of Drawno, around the lakes near Drawno. Its shape sets it apart from a single stated distance: the focus is on the loop around the lakes. Together with the hiking trails in the park area, this highlights the difference between a clearly identified cycling route and a network of trails whose total length applies to a larger area.
Horse-riding trails with loops and river crossings
The “Zatom” horse-riding trail consists of two loops, 7.1 and 7.4 kilometres long, respectively. The “Drawnik - Zatom” horse-riding trail consists of two loops totalling 25 kilometres. It starts and ends at the “Drawnik” water station, runs via Barnimie to Zatom, and connects there to the “Zatom” horse-riding trail. The connection between the two trail names is explicitly described; the 25 kilometres refer to the “Drawnik - Zatom” trail.
Another tourist horse-riding trail, “Drawno - Rościn”, runs through varied woodland in the northern part of the municipality of Drawno, along the Drawa River, and crosses the river twice. This trail is therefore described in terms of its woodland route and river crossings, while the other two horse-riding trails can be distinguished by their loop lengths and their connection at Zatom.
Canoeing: route length and difficulty rating
A nearly 58-kilometre stretch of the Drawa River in the municipality of Drawno and the Drawieński National Park is opened for canoeing on two dates. In addition, two shorter sections are described by length and difficulty: “Prostynia - Drawno” is 13 kilometres long and rated easy; “Drawno - biwak „Barnimie“” is 8.7 kilometres long and rated difficult. Thus, the longer of these two sections is rated easy, while the shorter is rated difficult. Length and difficulty are separate points of comparison here.
For the “Drawno - biwak „Barnimie“” section, suitable starting points are the landing stage of the Drawieński National Park or the PTTK water station near the road bridge over the connection between Lake Grażyna and Lake Dubie. Before making specific plans, it is advisable to check current opening dates, signage, trail and water conditions, and available access points.
