The Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa" is a vast forest complex on the outskirts of Szczecin, ideal for peaceful bike trips along gentle but sometimes sandy trails. The biggest attractions are the vast beech forests, picturesque hills and deep ravines, which look particularly impressive in autumn. It is worth visiting viewpoints such as Góra Bukowiec and stopping at Lake Szmaragdowe, which delights with the intense colour of its water. The trails in the Forest are well marked, but after rain they can be slippery, so tires with better tread are recommended.
