The best cycling routes around Lake Bytyń Wielki

Lake Zamkowe in Wałcz is an attractive reservoir with an area of 133 ha and a depth of up to 41 m. The proximity of the city makes it a popular place for recreation and water sports - there is a marina here, and the use of motorboats is allowed. Anglers will find many interesting sites here, and the lake is regularly stocked. It is worth combining a visit to the water with a visit to the nearby church of St. Anthony. Cyclists will appreciate the easy access and interesting views, especially on the northern side of the lake.

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.

very good cheesecake ;-)

The arch viaduct along which the railway line No. 403 runs.

The first mention of the church, and actually of the local presbytery Paweł, dates back to 1515. In later records, there is information about the villagers repairing the church in 1640. At that time, it was a wooden temple. There are some discrepancies as to when the present church was founded. Some sources say that it comes from the 17th century, but according to the record card of monuments of architecture and construction, it was built in the 18th century, which would be indicated by the dimensions of the bricks. This building was rebuilt many times, including in the 19th and 20th centuries, with bricks from the demolition of older buildings clearly being used, hence it is difficult to clearly determine the age of the church. construction from the time of its inception. It is known, however, that it stands on the site of an old wooden church from the 14th century.
