While the nature trail running along the river is relatively easy, the section of the Słupia river here has a typically mountainous character and requires considerable skill from kayakers. The current is strong and the bottom is strewn with numerous stones. This is the only section of its kind in Pomerania.

An altar older than the church itself: The beautiful Baroque main altar with a painting of the Crucified Christ dates back to 1680. This means it is nearly 75 years older than the current building – it was moved in its entirety from the previous, smaller church that stood on the same site.

Although the church serves Catholics today, it was built between 1755 and 1757 as a Lutheran church. For centuries, Sominy was an Evangelical Kashubian border village.
