Attractions and Places To See around Wierzchowo - Top 20

We also had to realize that the railway cycle path has seen better days in some places. Many cracks in the asphalt and on the edges. In May 2026, there were hardly any cyclists around, so we could easily ride around the mentioned spots. A really beautiful landscape and tour from Zlocieniec to Polczyn-Zdroj .

A beautiful, and if you want, a fast route.

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 temple is called a "small church" by the city's residents. The building was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries on the site of a wooden castle of the Templars and the Hospitallers, and previously a Slavic stronghold[2], on a hill called "Kazimierzowski". The temple is oriented. Built as a squat building of field stone, it has features of the Gothic style with elements of Romanesque. However, multiple reconstructions after fires resulted in the obliteration of the original form. The church has no tower. The previously existing one burned down in 1725 and was not rebuilt. from Wikipedia

Tempelburg boulder - a natural monument, granite, the largest erratic boulder in the Czaplinek commune and the Drawskie Lake District. The boulder was much larger in ancient times, but over the centuries it was crushed for construction purposes. Tempelburg was the pre-war name of Czaplinek. The inscription "Tempelb 1858" (referring to Czaplinek) and "Plago" (German nave of nearby Pławno) are carved on the rock. For many years it served as a boundary stone, as the border of the Drahim Starosty ran through here.

Church of St. Holy Trinity in Czaplinek - Gothic/Baroque from the 15th century. Destroyed and rebuilt in 1753.

The Church of the Holy Trinity was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries on the site where probably stood the wooden castle of the Knights Templar and the Knights of St John and the former Slavic fortress on a hill called “Kazimierzowski”. The towerless building made of field stone has Gothic features with Romanesque elements. Inside the church there is a unique baroque canopy altar. It is covered with a wooden, gilded canopy supported by six columns decorated with figures of angels. There are 19th century wings on the side of the altar. Next to the altar there is a wooden pulpit in the classicist style from 1823.

Very scenic corner. The railway line is unfortunately getting old in some places, but is still very passable.
