The best cycling routes around gmina Wałcz

Lake Zamkowe in Wałcz is an attractive reservoir with an area of 133 ha and a depth of up to 41 m. The proximity of the city makes it a popular place for recreation and water sports - there is a marina here, and the use of motorboats is allowed. Anglers will find many interesting sites here, and the lake is regularly stocked. It is worth combining a visit to the water with a visit to the nearby church of St. Anthony. Cyclists will appreciate the easy access and interesting views, especially on the northern side of the lake.

The establishment of the open-air museum is connected with the decision made in 1980 to create the Central Remembrance Region of the 1st Polish Army in the Zdbice area. The plan had a very broad program and consisted of the intention to create a kind of panorama of the battles of 1945. Some of the works were carried out (e.g. on Lake Smolne and in Zdbice), others were never implemented. The army was involved in the creation of the project, among others. One of the elements of the Remembrance Region was the creation of a large open-air museum of combat and engineering equipment used by the Polish side during the battles for the Pomeranian Wall. It was organized along the eastern slope of the Zdbiczno Lake gutter, slightly to the northwest of the village. The intention was for the exhibition to illustrate the attack of one of the battalions of the 12th Infantry Regiment on the German positions and fortifications located on the other bank of the river. On the Polish side, rifle trenches and earthen combat bunkers were made. A large amount of mobile equipment was also exhibited: mortars, cannons, tanks and Katyushas (some of them did not take part in the fighting for this area at all). A large parking lot and pavilions for tourists were set up by the road. Ultimately, a monumental monument to the conquerors of the Pomeranian Wall was to be built here, which was never built. An approximately three-kilometer educational trail was marked out from the parking lot along the German fortifications to the Morzyca farm. The area around the open-air museum is rich in memorabilia of World War II - combat bunkers and bunkers. In the summer of 2012, the open-air museum was very neglected. The pavilions by the parking lot were in ruins, and only three exhibits of the equipment by the parking lot remained: a T-34 tank, a howitzer and an anti-aircraft gun. However, there was a Room of National Remembrance located in the centre of the village with an exhibition entitled Forest as a Witness to the Battle of the Pomeranian Wall – objects evidencing the destruction of the tree stand in 1945 (e.g. shrapnel stuck in tree trunks), weapons and ammunition, photographs, maps and soldier documents were exhibited here.

The impressive dam on the "Dobrzyca" river is a remnant of the Pomeranian Wall, also known as the Stargard Wall, a line of defensive fortifications built by the Germans during World War II, stretching for several hundred kilometers in the northern part of Poland.

very good cheesecake ;-)

The fountain was created in 2004, according to the initial plans, its appearance would slightly refer to its pre-war predecessor, but eventually it was decided that it would have the shape of a cup.

It is a neo-Gothic temple, erected in the years 1863-1865, consecrated in 1866. Four bells, a side altar with a silver covering, chasubles with gold and silver embroidery made in 1620 and 1717, six silver candlesticks made in 1733, two small silver reliquaries, a chalice with an inscription have been preserved from the old church. The paintings of St. John painted in 1816 and the Last Supper (renewed in 1818) and Saint Michael and the Deposition of Jesus into the grave. In 1866, the painter Stankiewicz painted three paintings

The church was built as a Protestant church in the years 1902-1907 in the neo-gothic style.
