Camping and Caravanning

The Polish Federation of Camping and Caravanning (PFCC),
a social organization for tourists and campsite owners, involves
itself in promoting the idea of camping. For example, the
Federation aims to raise the quality of service and the standards of equipment through the "Mister Camping" contest. It
also cooperates with camping clubs and organizes rallies of
campers and caravanners, both Polish and foreign. Camping
enthusiasts who want to get a discount and be sure that they get
a place at a chosen campsite can obtain the FICC Camping
Pass from the Polish Federation. It is issued by the International Federation of Camping and Caravanning (FICC) based in
Brussels, and distributed by national organizations. Find out
more at www.pfcc.eu.

We would like to invite you to the best campsites in
Wielkopolska. It is worth noting that campsites are fenced
areas with a reception service, allowing you to stay in tents,
caravans, trailers, motor-homes or in chalets. Campsites are
equipped with sanitary kitchen and leisure facilities. The
current categorization of campsites differentiates them
distinctly from hotels and tent sites, and campsites scoring four
stars can boast the highest quality of service.

It is summer at last. A season of holidays and days off work.
Caravanning for a rest, we go to destinations with water and
forests. And the Region of Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) is
perfect for this. Its prehistoric glacier has left some moraine
hills which have been cut through by ancient river valleys and
stretches of lakes. It is here that the largest holiday resorts have
emerged. But not all of us enjoy our holidays in the hustle and
bustle of tourist resorts. More and more of us prefer quieter
and calmer places, such as campsites. The advantages of
camping are more moderate prices and, most notably, its proximity to nature. Staying at a campsite also gives us the chance to
keep active, as there are many sailing and canoeing centres. The
closeness of woods encourages taking walks along tourist trails
and mushrooming. And the vibrant folk culture of some areas
of Wielkopolska enables taking part in folk festivities and
regional celebrations. Traditionally, our campsites are visited by
foreign tourists, which allows them to get to know our culture,
historical monuments and curiosities of nature.

Malta is famous for having one of the best regatta tracks
in Europe. Around the lake there are some recreation
and leisure facilities including an artificial ski slope with
ski lifts, a summer toboggan run of 530m, tennis courts,
and a mini golf course. You can also rent rollerblades,
mountain bikes, ecobikes (four- and three-wheeled) and

MARGONIN
In Margonin's surroundings you can see some grand
glacial rocks. One of them is called an "Enchanted Inn"
(Zaklęta Karczma). It is 13m in circumference and lies in a
field near Próchnowo. Another one of fanciful shape is
called the "Enchanted Coach" (Zaczarowana Karoca), is
7.5m in circumference and lies on the edge of Atanazyn.
A few interesting legends about the blocks' origin are
connected with them.

If you are interested in history, you should visit a small
town called Gołańcz, with an interesting Gothic castle
of the Pałuk family at Smolary Lake. Also worth a visit is
the former Gothic Observantine Church of Our Lady
of the Angels.

Poznań
The campsite is located at Margonin Lake (215ha), in
a holiday complex 700m away from the town centre. It
neighbours the "Margonin" Hotel and a sports field. In
Margonin, near the Old Market, there is an interesting
baroque Church (St. Adalbert’s), which dates from the
18th c. On the way to Gołańcz, you can see a former
estate called Margonińska Wieś with its neo-Gothic
palace dating from the middle of the 19th c. It is famous
for hosting Józef Wybicki, the author of the Polish
national anthem. Nowadays it houses the Witold Łuczkiewicz Forest Centre. In the palace, there is the Józef
Wybicki Remembrance Room and a mini museum,
which was the Tradition's Room of the former
Wojczyński Forest Schools. On both sides of the road
there is the most impressive tree avenue in Wielkopolska. Planted in 1765, it is 1.5km long and made up of
huge lime trees reaching up to 620cm in circumference.

The campsite is part of the Communal Centre for
Leisure and Public Utilities (GOWiGK) in Lubasz. The
campsite is located at Duże Lake (42ha) on the so called
Krasna Góra hill on the edge of a range of moraine hills.
Lubasz is a large communal village situated on the way
from Wronki to Czarnków. It is famous for its baroque
Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary from
the middle 18th c. with its miraculous painting inside, and
also being a place of many pilgrimages. The village also
houses a classical palace located in an enormous scenic
park – well worth seeing.

The church in Lubasz
The surroundings of Lubasz feature a diverse landscape
sometimes called the Czarnków Switzerland. The edge
of the valley falling steeply towards the Noteć River cut
by ravines and gorges brings into sight many picturesque
views. Plenty of charm characterizes the hills of nearby
Goraj's and its surroundings, wooded with beech and
oak. It is also the location of a neo-Renaissance castle of
the Hochbergs from the early 19th c., which is currently
housing the Forest Schools Complex (Zespół Szkół
Leśnych). The nearby town of Czarnków, located on the
slopes of moraine hills and in the Noteć River valley, is
among the most beautifully situated towns in Wielkopolska. The Góra Krzyżowa Mountain overlooking the
town gives you the opportunity to admire the vast
panorama of the town and valley. The most precious
monument of Czarnków is a Gothic Church of Mary
Magdalene from the 16th c. with gilder paintings and the
Czarnkowski family gravestones.

Lubiń and Cichowo are slightly further away. In Lubiń,
on one of the hills towers a Benedictine abbey founded
in the 11th c. It is said that Gallus Anonymus, the first
Polish chronicler, was an abbot there. The neighbouring
Cichowo has become a charming open-air film museum
since Soplica's manor was moved there from the film set
of "Pan Tadeusz", the adaptation of the Polish national
epic by Adam Mickiewicz. On the way to Cichowo, you
can try driving an old trolley-car on a closed railway line
in Bieżyń.

Wonieskie Lake, almost 13km in length and surrounded
by woods, is a venue for attractive walking and biking
trails. The lake was created between 1974 and 1983 by
damming up a small river called Samica Osieczyńska,
flowing through 5 lakes. Nearby, in the Gryżyna village
there are ruins of the Gothic Church of St. Martin from
the 13th c. It is a defensive construction with walls of
fieldstones. Not far away are the manors and palaces of
Turew, Choryń and Kopaszewo, the latter being where
Adam Mickiewicz (one of the greatest Polish poets)
stayed in Wielkopolska. The palace in Racot, owned in
the past by William, Prince of Orange, later the King of
the Netherlands , was a residence of the President of the
Republic of Poland in the inter-war period . Nowadays it
houses the largest horse stud farm in Europe.

BOSZKOWO
The main advantage of Boszkowo is its magnificent
location among wooded moraine hills and lakes. Sailing
enthusiasts are attracted by the vast Dominickie Lake, and
canoeists have one of the most popular trails in Poland, the
Lily-of-the-Valley Canoe Trail (Konwaliowy Szlak Kajakowy) leading along a closed circle of 37km. The lakes are
connected with streams and canals of a slight gradient,
which enables canoeing the Trail both directions. The
beginning and the end of the Trail are in Wieleń. Nearby
there is the large communal village of Włoszakowice, with
the original baroque hunting palace of the Sułkowski family, built in the mid 18th c. on an artificial island. Build on the
plan of a triangle, the palace houses a large event hall and
currently also the Communal Office and a community
centre. Music lovers should visit nearby Bukowiec Górny, a
folk artwork centre with regional groups and bagpipe
bands as well as folk sculptors, embroiderers and smiths.

The Sieraków Landscape Park is an area of a varied
postglacial land with moraine hills and numerous lakes.
A dense network of tourist trails enables you to reach the
most interesting places in the Park. There are a few
nature reserves. One of them, "Beeches at Lutomskie
Lake" (Buki nad Jeziorem Lutomskim) is just behind the
campsite fence. The best way to get to know the Park is
to visit the Nature Education Centre (Ośrodek Edukacji
Przyrodniczej) located in an old manor house in Chalin at
Śremskie Lake. On the other side of the Warta River,
there are the vast areas of Puszcza Notecka (the Noteć

MIERZYN
The campsite is a good base for trips to visit
neighbouring Międzychód, located next to the Warta
River and Miejskie Lake. The town has an untypical
urban layout consisting of three former urban
formations. From the old buildings, of particular
interest is Rynkowa Street, with a group of houses
standing with their gable walls towards the street;
currently very rare. In the vicinity of the church there is
one of Międzychód's tourist attractions: an artesian
water spring containing a considerable amount of
hydrogen sulfide and available from a communal pump.
Mierzyn is located within Puszcza Notecka (the Noteć
forest), which allows for organizing various walks along
wood trails and picking the abundant mushrooms there.

Zbąszyńskie Lake, and is 400m away from the town
centre. Zbąszyń is an old castellan fortified town with
a partly intact fortress of the Dutch type with a Renaissance entrance gate from the turn of the 16th c. Near
the Market Square there is a baroque Church of the
Assumption of the Virgin Mary from the mid 18th c.
with valuable interior elements. e.g. gravestones of the
Garczyński family, who were the former owners of the
town. An interesting example of monumental architecture is the railway station originating from the interwar period. At that time, Zbąszyń was a border station.
In the centre, on the Obra River, there is a unique monument to John Paul II which shows Karol Wojtyła sitting
in a canoe.

The town surroundings are perfect for tourism,
especially for water sports. The Obra River flows
through a chain of lakes (e.g.: Wielkowiejskie,
Chobienickie, Zbąszyńskie, Lutol, Wielkie) and forms a
popular canoeing route. Another curiosity of the region
is the unique folklore connected with a musical
instrument called the kozioł, which is a type of bagpipe.
The instrument inspired the creation of the Region of

The campsite in Gołuchów is part of the Gołuchów
Tourism and Sports Centre (GOTiS) at Zalew Gołuchowski Lake (51ha), which was created by damming up
the Ciemna river. Next to its school, there are the
Centre’s sports and leisure facilities with a court for
volleyball and beach ball, a football stadium, tennis
courts, a school gym and playgrounds.
PHOTO: THE COMMUNE OFFICE IN GOŁUCHÓW ARCHIVE
Gołuchów is a popular Polish tourist and holiday centre.
The castle houses a branch of the National Museum in
Poznan. The Renaissance castle of the Leszczyński family, rebuilt by Izabela Działyńska in the 19th c, refers in
its style to the French castles at the Loire River. It houses
an exhibition of historical interiors as well as a collection
of ancient Greek vessels - the so called Gołuchów vases.
Around the castle and along the Ciemna River there is
the largest arboretum in Poland, 162 hectares in size,
with domestic and foreign trees. Among them there are a
dozen unique specimens and a few hundred other types
trees. The park is looked after by the Forest Culture
Centre (Ośrodek Kultury Leśnej), which is a special unit of
the State Forest’s national range. The Centre protects
Polish forestry heritage by running the Forestry
Museum (Muzeum Leśnictwa) and the Exemplary Animal
Pen (Pokazowa Zagroda Zwierząt). Currently, you can see
wisent and fallow deer there, as well as wild boar and
konik (a small, Polish semi-wild horse).

centre of Gołuchów, there is the largest erratict (glacial
rock) in Wielkopolska, called the Stone of St. Jadwiga or
St. Kinga and connected with numerous legends. It is a
grey Scandinavian granite of 22m in circumference and
3.5m in height.

Motorized tourists can go on a trip along the popular
Kórnik Route (Szlak Kórnicki) leading through Kórnik,
Bnin, Rogalin, Puszczykowo, the Wielkopolska National
Park and Szreniawa to Poznań. For those who prefer
walking trips and having contact with nature, there is the
Bobrowy Szlak nature and education trail (with three
levels of difficulty) leading from nearby Świątniki to
Czmoniec. A popular tourist trail (red) of Mieczysław
Orłowicz leads from Kórnik (there is a plaque dedicated
to Orłowicz on the town hall) to Zaniemyśl along the
valley of the lakes near Kórnik and Zaniemyśl. Those
who like big cities can go 20km by road to Poznań.

Poznań
The campsite is situated on the premises of the Sports
and Recreation Centre (OSiR) in Kórnik, on the so called
Błonia at Kórnickie Lake (82ha). Nearby, there is a sports
stadium and the Nestor Motel. The town centre is 500m
away and you can reach it from the main street leading to
the market square. In its centre there is a nice town hall
with a rooster at the top, which is the symbol of the town.
At noon you can hear the cock crowing and the bugle call
of Kórnik. Attractions of Kórnik are widely known and
they are worth devoting some time to. At the market
square there is the so called Eye of the Needle (Igielne
ucho), which is a passageway leading to a Jewish synagogue
ruined during World War II. From the campsite you can
go by the "Anna Maria” ship to the castle on the other
side of the lake. The neo-Gothic castle houses a museum
with rich collections, as well as the Polish Academy of
Sciences Library in Kórnik, and is surrounded by an
arboretum of the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish
Academy of Sciences (PAN). The ship's marina is next to
a large car park on the so called Prowent (a former manor
farm) where the Polish poet Wisława Szymborska
(a Nobel laureate) was born, and there is a plaque on a
building there informing us of this.

Because the campsite is near Poznań, it is a good base for
sightseeing trips to the city. One way of getting to know
the city is by walking the increasingly popular Kings and
Emperors Route (Trakt Królewsko-Cesarski). It leads
from the royal residence of the former kings Mieszko I
and Bolesław Chrobry on the Ostrów Tumski island
through the Góra Przemysła hill with the royal castle.
Poznań was also visited by the Emperor Otto III, the
current patron of united Europe, on his way to the
famous Congress of Gniezno in 1000ad. Another
emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, stayed four times in the
former Jesuit College. For the German emperor William
II a monumental castle was built which currently houses
the "Zamek" Cultural Centre. On the basis of the
cultural values of the city, the route touches upon four
themes: history, monuments of architecture, culture and
the tradition of Wielkopolska, underlining their
uniqueness across Poland. It is impossible to cover the
whole Route during one day as it encompasses over 60
attractions.

BOGUSZYN
The campsite is very untypical by Polish standards. It is
located just outside Boguszyn village between Książ
Wielkopolski and Nowe Miasto nad Wartą. It is situated
in open country among farmland. The Campsite is
administrated by a Dutch family.
In the village, there survives the manor complex of the
Sczaniecki family from the mid 19th c., relating to the
romantic neo-Gothic style.
PHOTO: Z. SZMIDT
If you would like to go for a longer walk, then go to the
Warta River which flows here in a vast valley with numerous bends and old river beds. Nearby Książ Wielkopolski is a small town famous for the battle of the scythebearing peasant recruits (kosynierzy) during the Springtime of Nations of 1848. There are two mounds burying
the bodies of the insurrectionists. Going in the opposite
direction you will get to Chocicza, with an impressive
eclectic palace from the early 20th c. Going a bit further
you will reach Nowe Miasto nad Wartą, a small charming
town with a Gothic Church of the Holy Trinity with
valuable Renaissance polychrome. Just outside Nowe
Miasto is the Herman's Horse Farm (Folwark Konny
Hermanów) offering horseback riding courses.

The most important advantage of the town is its location
in the vicinity of 3 lakes: the Durowskie, Kobyleckie and
Rygielskie lakes. This means it’s perfect for leisure and
water sports. It is the seat of the "Wielspin" Rehabilitation
and Leisure Centre for the Disabled, which is one of the
most modern centres in Europe. A huge tourist attraction
is the unique cross of two rivers, the Wełna and Nielba,
and is one of a kind in Europe. Wągrowiec boasts important monuments: the Gothic Parish Church of St. James,
from the 16th c, with an untypical(unusual) bell tower and a
former, baroque Cistercian Monastery of the Assumption
of the Virgin Mary. The seat of the Regional Museum is
Opatówka, the former seat of Cistercian abbots.
In the close vicinity of Wągrowiec there are numerous
important monuments: in Tarnowo Pałuckie there is the
wooden Church of St. Nicholas with Renaissance polychrome, recognized as the oldest in Poland. A bit further,
near Łekno, the remains of the oldest Cistercian abbey in
Poland, founded in 1153, have been discovered. On the
way to Gniezno, on a wooded hill, there is a curious stone
tomb in the shape of a pyramid, housing Franciszek
Łakiński, who was a cavalry captain in Napoleon's army.
Further on, in Budziejewko, there is one of the largest
glacial rock in Poland, called the Stone of St. Adalbert
measuring 20.5m in circumference.

WRZEŚNIA
Września is a vibrant town famous for the well-known
school strike of 1901 in which 118 children protested
against the compulsory learning of religion in German.
Currently, the former Catholic People's School (Katolicka
Szkoła Ludowa) houses the Regional Museum of the
Children of Września. Next to the Museum there is the
Gothic Parish Church of the Assumption of the Virgin
Mary and St. Stanislaw from the mid 15th c. with baroque
interiors. The Market Square in Września is also charming with its historical tenement houses and its neoGothic Town Hall. There is also a place commemorated
to the burning of four women in 1720 for doing magic.
Next to the campsite you can also see another town
monument - the wooden Church of the Holy Cross
from the 17th c.
PHOTO: Z. SZMIDT
The neighbourhood of the town abounds in interesting
monuments which you can see during short trips.
Especially interesting is the huge fortification in Grzybowo dating back to the early 10th c. It is the venue of the
International Rally of Slavic Warriors (Międzynarodowy
Zjazd Wojowników Słowiańskich) which involves fight
shows and presentations of craft. Also in Grzybowo
there is an untypical cemetery chapel mirroring the early
Romanesque Chapel of St. Felix and Adauctus, which is
built on the Wawel hill in Cracow. Other attractions can
be found in Czerniejewo and Miłosław, which boast
impressive palaces in vast parks.

Poznań
The campsite is situated on the Lipówka artificial lake
(22ha), created on the small river Wrześnica. At the lake
there is a beach, a restaurant and recreational area. The
