August 14, 2026, Barlinek Market Square and Gęsiarka Fountain

The market square in Barlinek is the oldest part of the town, with origins dating back to the Middle Ages. For centuries, it was the center of urban life. In 1852, a great fire destroyed the medieval town hall standing in the square, which was never rebuilt. The "Gęsiarka" (Goose Girl) fountain was erected in this spot in 1912, in memory of the former town hall. It is crowned by a figure of a girl defending herself against a gander, referring to an old Barlinek legend. The author of the sculpture was the Swedish artist Knut Åkerberg, and the "Gęsiarka" itself became one of Barlinek's most recognizable symbols.

Former railway line 410. The route of the former line is now crossed by the asphalt cycle path Trasa Pojezierzy Zachodnich nr R20. On the route, a series of old railway stations and depots. Very picturesque areas of the Choszczno Lake District.

The Wielka Furta Wodna in Barlinek was part of the 14th-century city fortifications and was located on the shore of Lake Barlinek. It allowed residents quick access to the lake, for example, during fires when water was needed to extinguish the flames. It was the larger of Barlinek's two water gates. In the 19th century, it was demolished along with part of the old city walls. Curiosity: its memento is the so-called Chinese House, located on Jeziorna Street, whose bay window is a reduced replica of the former Water Gate.

Once, railway line No. 410 ran here. Today it is a section of the West Lakes Route marked with R20. A small open-air museum at the former station in the village of Lubiana was created on private initiative. The main exhibit here is the TY-2 269 steam locomotive, built according to technical ideas from 1942 and produced in 1943 by Henschel & Sohn, Kassel. The steam locomotive spent the entire post-war period in the vicinity of Olsztyn, and later Malbork. In 1992, it was withdrawn from service. In 2015, it was transported to Lubiana Pyrzycka as a monument.
