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

I went to this place on purpose thinking that there would be more of it than in the photos posted by one of the users of this portal and I will not regret it. Well, I got there, and unfortunately I was disappointed. I will not even mention the access road itself, where it was impossible to drive through the sandy terrain at all and you had to change your route, driving around either on asphalt or paved with cobblestones (stones). It is difficult to call this place a park, it is far from it. Let's say that it is an ordinary forest with plastic mushrooms placed thanks to the initiative of the local community. Some of them (the larger ones) are impressive, but there is nothing special. A nice idea were the houses made in the theme of mushrooms-toadstools, which you can enter. The statue of a deer placed in the middle of the hill so that it looks out at the surrounding area made the biggest impression on me. Quite a nice effect. There are benches under a roof on the spot, you can rest. There are waste bins, the area is quite well-kept. The only downside is the two toilet cubicles available for public use, as of June 2025 I do not recommend even going there, there is a risk of radiation (that's how I felt and quickly lost my appetite for everything). :P If you are going with children, there are a few swings nearby. When driving by, you can drop in for a moment, but to go there specifically, I repeat - I do not recommend it.

The Sapieha Palace in Wieleń is an impressive residence located on the Noteć River, one of the most important monuments in Wielkopolska. Built in the 18th century, it combines Baroque and Classicist features, and its surroundings include a picturesque landscape park. It was once the seat of the Sapieha family, and today it delights with its monumental structure and historical character. It is an ideal place for a bike trip, especially for lovers of architecture and history. It is worth taking a camera, because the palace and its surroundings offer beautiful views, especially during the golden autumn or spring blossoms.

The footbridge looks particularly spectacular at night when it is illuminated, but it is also impressive during the day. It allows you to cross the Warta River much more safely than on the bridge. At least from the cyclist's point of view.

The church was built in the mid-18th century.

A theme park dedicated to mushrooms. The axis of the park is an educational and nature trail with enlarged models of mushrooms (0.5-3 m high) enriched with appropriate descriptions. They are intended to show the diversity and richness of the forests of the Notecka Forest. The park was established in 2013.

Tragic surface. It's supposed to be gravel, but it's so undulating that driving on it is torture. There is a washboard along the entire width of the road, there is no place to escape. I recommend avoiding this road!

The Church of St. Lawrence and St. Sigismund was founded in the twelfth century. In 1586, a wooden church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary was built on the so-called Krasna Góra - the truncated cone-shaped moraine hill of Lubasz. Like so many wooden buildings of that time, this too burned down. And the subsequent building was not to last either, falling victim to a landslide in 1750 and sinking into the ground of Krasna Góra. Reconstruction began in the same year and the impressive parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary still stands today. The late Baroque style building was completed in 1761 and its homogeneous Rococo furnishings (including six altars, pulpit and baptismal font) have been preserved to this day. The neo-Gothic bell tower followed in 1856. The interior of the church is of particular importance, however. The sanctuary of the Queen of Families. A 16th century painting from Rome, ceremoniously crowned in 2000 with crowns consecrated by Pope John Paul II, depicting Mary with the baby Jesus and which has become the destination of numerous pilgrimages by believers from all over Poland. The model for the miraculous painting, painted with oil paints on wooden boards, is none other than "Salus populi Romani" - the most historically significant icon of the Mother of God of Rome, which has been in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore for well over 1,000 years.

A section of about 8 km between Sieraków and Borzysko Młyn, a hardened gravel road, no sand, but the washboard is so terrible that the brain bounces inside the skull and the fillings in the teeth are loosening 😱😱,
