Discover Rogowo

Between the Baltic Sea and Resko Przymorskie

Rogowo lies on a spit that separates the Baltic Sea from Resko Przymorskie. Water surrounds the town to the north and south. The sea and the lake are therefore both part of Rogowo’s geographical setting, but remain two distinct points of reference. If you choose destinations based on their location, this relationship provides a concrete frame of reference: Rogowo is situated between the two bodies of water. The spit is therefore a good starting point for locating the town on a map before exploring its history, nature or cycling in more detail.

From fishing village to airfield plans

Until 1935, Rogowo was a small fishing village with thatched fishermen’s houses. A different historical development began after that: German plans for Rogowo as an airfield included canals, locks and pumping stations to regulate the lake’s water level. Construction of military barracks and a seaplane base began in 1936. The fishing village was followed by plans for an airfield, with construction beginning in 1936. Water engineering was also part of the plans, so the project involved more than just buildings. Those interested in local history will find a development in which village life, military projects and the regulation of the lake’s water level existed side by side.

Bird areas as a connection to nature

Rogowo lies within the Natura 2000 sites Trzebiatowsko-Kołobrzeski Pas Nadmorski and Wybrzeże Trzebiatowskie. Both provide a refuge for many protected bird species. This adds another perspective to Rogowo’s location between the Baltic Sea and the lake: the importance of the two protected areas for birdlife. If you are interested in nature and birds, these areas may be a reason in their own right to take a closer look at Rogowo. This connection to nature is distinct from the town’s historical development and can be considered as a separate aspect when planning your trip.

The R-10 passes through Rogowo

A cycling route that passes through Rogowo forms part of the international Baltic Sea Cycle Route R-10. This also makes the town relevant to travellers exploring the Baltic cycling route: Rogowo lies along one section of it. The cycling connection can therefore be considered separately from the landscape and history, without conflating it with the town’s other features. If you are planning a ride on the R-10, take local conditions into account as you prepare. The route passes through Rogowo; how you incorporate this into your trip depends on your own plans.

Rogowo as a starting point for your search

When choosing a destination, you can assess Rogowo according to which aspect matters most to you: the spit between the Baltic Sea and Resko Przymorskie, the town’s history, the bird areas or the R-10. Instead of considering accommodation separately from the destination, you can first decide whether you are considering Rogowo mainly for its geographical location, its history, its connection to nature or its cycling route.
