Bagicz: Circular Walking Trail, Scenic Flights and History
Accommodation in Bagicz
Bagicz brings together three distinct themes for a stay: a green-marked circular walking trail, sightseeing flights and historical evidence. The local points of interest answer different planning questions. For the walking trail, the route and length matter; at the airfield, the types of flights; and at the cemetery, the visible historical traces. Together, they give Bagicz a distinct character without requiring you to follow a single set itinerary.
On foot: a loop through several places
The approximately 26-kilometre circular walking trail is marked in green. From Ustronie Morskie, it runs through Sianożęty to Bagicz, then continues via Kukinia, Rusowo, Gwizd and Wieniatowo before returning to Ustronie Morskie. Bagicz lies on a loop that starts and ends in Ustronie Morskie; the sequence of places makes the route easy to picture in advance. The trail also heads towards the natural monuments of the “Bolesława” and “Warcisława” oak trees. This gives you both an approximate total distance and distinctive names along the route to help with your planning. You can weigh up whether a route through several places suits your stay better than a plan focused solely on Bagicz. Check local conditions before setting out.
Scenic flights and the history of the airfield
Sightseeing flights depart from Bagicz Airfield. These flights use an aircraft and a powered paraglider. If a flight is part of your plans, check availability in advance, as it may vary depending on operations. The airfield also has a military past: it was built in 1935–1936 as a German Luftwaffe base and, after 1945, served as one of the Soviet Army’s largest bases in Poland until 1992. The year 1992 marks the end of this former use. This lets you distinguish between the tourist activity of taking a flight and the historical context of the same place. Bagicz therefore offers two different reasons to include the airfield in your travel plans: an activity and a historical connection.
The former Protestant cemetery
The former Protestant cemetery in Bagicz dates from the late 19th century and was in use around the turn of the 20th century. The surviving traces include fragments of broken gravestones and grave slabs, as well as metal crosses. Names and dates of birth and death are still visible on some of the surviving pieces. The cemetery is entered in both the register of monuments and the list of monuments. When the site belonged to a Soviet military unit, the cemetery was inaccessible to outsiders. This restriction belongs to that historical context. For visitors interested in local history, the cemetery brings together surviving traces and a clearly defined past.
