Discover Załom: Forests, Hiking Trails and a Natural Monument

Załom between Forests, Trails and the City

The Załom-Kasztanowe administrative residential area in Szczecin lies on the northeastern edge of the Prawobrzeże district and is surrounded by the forests of the Goleniowska Forest. If you would like to include nature and physical activity in your trip to Poland, this setting provides a specific basis for organising your travel interests.

Protected Nature and Notable Trees

The western part of the Załom-Kasztanowe administrative residential area lies within the “Lower Oder Valley” Natura 2000 site. For nature-focused travel plans, you can deliberately distinguish this protected-area section from the other aspects of the locality.

On 20 June 2005, the Szczecin City Council protected an avenue of 26 pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur) in the Załom administrative residential area as a natural monument. At a height of 1.3 m, the trees have circumferences of between 123 and 472 cm and are 20 to 26 m tall. The range of these measurements gives the natural monument a tangible profile for anyone wishing to assess the landscape through concrete features.

Hiking Trails with Their Own Routes

Two marked trails are central to hiking planning. The blue-marked Szlak Anny Jagiellonki hiking trail (ZP-1058-n) is 35.3 km long and runs through the Załom-Kasztanowe administrative residential area. With this length, the route provides a clear benchmark if you want to determine the scope of a hike. When planning a day trip, you should therefore consider which section of the trail to include; the route length provides its own time and physical framework.

The red-marked Szlak Rekowski hiking trail runs from Szczecin Załom railway station via Szczecin Zdunowo, Niedźwiedź and Szczecin Jezierzyce to Rekowo. The sequence of these places provides spatial orientation if you want to divide the route into sections for your own day planning.

Railway Connection and Local History

For mobility, the Szczecin Załom railway halt is another specific point of reference in the locality. It has two platforms, each connected at one end, with a length of 200 m each. If you are considering travelling by train, you can include this railway halt in your location planning. When travelling by train, this specific stop can serve as a separate point of reference in your location planning.

The parish of the Transfiguration of the Lord is part of the cultural heritage of Szczecin-Załom. It was founded on 25 December 1987 and is the oldest parish in this part of the city. In addition to nature and trails, this gives the choice of location a specific connection to church history.

Choose Accommodation According to Your Travel Style

A hotel, holiday apartment and holiday house represent different forms of accommodation: would you prefer to choose a classic place to stay, plan more independence in your daily routine or allow room for an independent travel arrangement? In Załom, you can base your planning on specific themes: forest and protected area, natural monument, hiking trails, railway connection or parish. This keeps your choice of accommodation aligned with the interests that specifically characterise Załom.
