Gniezno Cathedral is considered one of the most important religious buildings in Poland. Since the 15th century, the church has served as both the seat of the Archbishop of Gniezno and the Primate of Poland. The Gniezno Double Doors, made of bronze, are of great significance on a European scale.

The current monument, standing 4.75 meters tall on a nearly 4-meter pedestal, was recreated by sculptor Jerzy Sobociński based on the original design and unveiled on May 9, 1985.

A Gothic archcathedral located on Lech Hill, serving as the burial place of Saint Adalbert and the site of five royal coronations since 1000 AD. Known as the "Mother of Polish Churches," it has been the seat of Polish primates and was designated as a minor basilica in 1931. The cathedral houses the famous Gniezno Doors, bronze doors from around 1175 that depict scenes from Saint Adalbert's life.

The Wełna River is a picturesque tributary of the Warta River, flowing through Wielkopolska and constituting an attractive trail for lovers of nature and active recreation. Its winding course, clean waters and varied landscape attract kayakers, and the calmer sections are ideal for anglers. The Wełna flows through forests and agricultural areas, and on its banks you can see numerous species of water birds. There are also interesting cycling routes along the river, such as the yellow and green trails of the Gniezno district.

Go down to the shores of Lake Oćwieckie (which is also where the Gąsawka River flows in) when you are in Gąsawka (a village). Beautiful, peaceful and charming. On the edge, some trees seem to bow to the water, leaning over the surface.
