Attractions and Places To See around gmina gmina gmina Czaplinek - Top 20

Interesting arrangement, but the ticket price of 25 PLN (August 2025) doesn't encourage a quick visit. If I were to come here and sit for three hours, that's fine, but by bike, not so much...

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

Is it possible to recharge the bike's batteries somewhere along this route?

A fragment of a bicycle path built on the trace of a former narrow-gauge railway. Good surface, minimal elevation gain, no car traffic, nice views make this route an ideal place for those who shy away from the idea of a bike ride. It's worth it

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

The ruins of the castle were added to the monument register in 1959 and are now managed by the private Motor and Technology Museum in Otrębusy as a showcase of medieval architecture. It lies on an isthmus between Lake Dratzig in the west and Lake Sareben in the east (Polish: Jezioro Drawsko and Jezioro Srebrne).
