A camping spot near the village of Spore
created by the State Forests in the place where a watermill once existed. All that remains of it is a cascade on the Gwda River and an old cobblestone road. According to the information on the website of the Szczecinek Forest District, the stay should be reported to the forester.

A grotto with a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The statue of the Virgin Mary placed in the center of the grotto was brought from Częstochowa. The stone dome in which it was placed is an expression of the residents’ gratitude. This took place around the year 2000 under the supervision of parish priest Andrzej Bujar.

A memorial boulder dedicated to the victims of World War II
A memorial stone with plaques bearing the names of places that, due to the number of victims, have been forever etched into the pages of history during World War II. These include, among others, Treblinka and Siberia. The erection of this memorial stone commemorating the deaths of so many innocent people was an initiative of the local community and the priest of the Parish of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Poland. The stone was consecrated and serves as the site for World War II anniversary ceremonies.

Bunkier B-Werk Nord

Camouflaged combat bunker
Walking west along Tamka Street, at the fork in the road leading to Szczecinek and Koszalin, there is a one-story tenement house. It differs from other nearby houses in that the windows on the ground floor are bricked up and painted white. Inside the building is a camouflaged combat bunker for two machine guns, designed to provide covering fire along Tamka Street. This structure is unique within the entire Pomeranian Wall fortification line due to its location inside a residential building. Inside, there are five rooms, including two combat compartments with partially preserved armor plates, a crew room, and two vestibules. The bunker has two entrances. Although it is, in many respects, the most interesting fortification structure in the vicinity of Biały Bór, it is not officially open to the public.

Cannon Shelter
This bunker was designed to house a 37-millimeter anti-tank gun, which, if necessary, could be rolled out by the crew to a field position next to the bunker. The bunker consists of two compartments, one for the gun and the other for the crew.  In this case, a location was chosen from which fire could be directed both toward the open field and along the main highway and the side road to Drężno. Bunkers of this type were located in open fields and, as they were less exposed to direct fire, were often built with lower resistance. Fifty meters below this structure is a combat bunker for two machine guns. Along the way, we pass a well-preserved section of an anti-tank trench. The site is located on the marked “West Pomeranian Fortifications – ‘Forgotten Fortifications’” trail.

Granary I
The granary was built around 1850. In the past, it served as a farm building. The lower sections of the walls facing the Nizica River (Niezdobna—as the river is commonly called by the residents of Szczecinek) were built of fieldstone, while the upper part of the building is constructed of brick and interspersed with wooden beams. These wooden elements are clearly visible. The building is located right on the riverbank, next to a small bridge.

Granary II
It is a brick building with a fieldstone foundation and a very interesting architectural design. It stands out against the backdrop of the city’s other buildings. The granary dates back to the 19th century; after World War II, it belonged to the city authorities, and from the very beginning it was intended for storing food, mainly grain. Currently, the granary is privately owned and is used for business purposes. In 1998, it underwent a thorough renovation, which prevented its deterioration.

Lake Wierzchowo
Lake Wierzchowo covers an area of 731 ha, with a length of 5.2 km and a width of 2.2 km. Its maximum depth reaches 25 m, while the water level is at an elevation of 139 m above sea level. The lake’s shoreline is varied—for example, in the western part there is a significant narrowing of the basin, resulting in the formation of a large bay near the village of Wierzchowo. In some places, the shores are steep, while in others they slope gently down to the lake, forming small beaches. The most common fish species include whitefish, vendace, pike, eel, perch, and bream. The lake lies along the course of the Gwda River, which flows out of it, and the so-called Szczecinec Loop.

Old Town
Szczecinek is one of the cities whose entire Old Town has been listed as a historic site. Among the sights to be admired there is the St. Nicholas Church Tower—a 16th-century structure and the only remnant of the late-Gothic St. Nicholas Church, which was demolished in 1909. Since 1958, the building has belonged to the Regional Museum. The museum houses the following collections: archaeological (including a stone statue of a Slavic deity, pottery, jewelry, and tools), goldsmithing works and regional artifacts (paintings, sculptures, etc., related to the town and region), and hunting artifacts (over 130 items related to hunting: firearms and bladed weapons, hunting gear, accessories, and furnishings from hunting lodges). The most valuable items in this category date from the 18th century. The Regional Museum in Szczecinek currently features six permanent exhibitions. The first of these is: “From the History of the City and Region”—paintings, sculptures, blacksmithing and goldsmithing works, etc., related to the city’s history from the Middle Ages to the present day. The Nobles’ Hall displays objects of material culture associated with the Pomeranian nobility: the Golz family of Siemczyn, the Herzberg family of Lotynia, and the Podewils family of Krąg. The museum also features: antique silverware (over one hundred items crafted from the 18th to the early 20th century in European goldsmith workshops), a hunting salon, the Szczecinek garrison, and 18th–20th-century European goldsmith workshops.
In Szczecinec’s Old Town, next to the late-Gothic tower of a church that no longer exists, the second religious monument is the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (on 3 Maja Street). It is a Neo-Gothic church (modeled after North German Gothic architecture) that was built between 1905 and 1908. Its imposing and majestic structure is characterized by a sense of lightness, achieved through the use of soaring windows as well as the pointed-arch ornamentation on the gables of the transept. The main body of the church, supported on the outside by tall buttresses, is enclosed on the east side by a hexagonal chancel flanked by low annexes, while on the west side stands a slender church tower 78 m high. The church contains some furnishings transferred from the old St. Nicholas Church, including a limestone epitaph from 1621 for Dorota A. Westreglen, wife of Piotr Somnitz, the starost of Szczecinek, as well as six brass spider chandeliers from the first half of the 17th century in the galleries. The church’s main altar features a cabinet-style design. The church organ, located in the choir loft, is equipped with 1,670 pipes.
Another historic site that can be seen while strolling through Szczecinek’s Old Town is the south wing of the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes (2A Adama Mickiewicza St.). It dates back to the first half of the 14th century and was built on the site of an earlier Slavic settlement. Originally, the castle was located on an island in Lake Trzesiecko, but after the water level dropped, it came to lie on a peninsula. At the foot of the castle lies the historic City Park, established between 1875 and 1903. In the late 18th century, a belt-making workshop was established in the castle buildings; subsequently, from the early 19th century onward, it housed a hospital and a shelter. After the war, the castle was occupied by the military and later served as a tourist lodge. In April 1996, it was sold; today, the castle has been converted into an office building, and access to the courtyard for outsiders is practically impossible. The castle (as the headquarters of the ZAMEK Conference Center) has taken on new functions; from now on, you can organize a conference for 150 people here, dine in an atmospheric restaurant, spend the night in the White Lady’s Chamber, and perhaps encounter the castle’s (friendly) ghost, as well as enjoy a feast in the cellar pub or view an exhibition of contemporary art in the gallery.
In Szczecinek’s Old Town, you can also admire the Holy Trinity Orthodox parish church (6 Szkolna St.), which was formerly a synagogue and was built in 1824. It survived the war due to its peripheral location and unassuming appearance and was adapted for Orthodox liturgical use in 1952. It is currently a brick building with a tiled roof, situated at an angle to the street. The facade is unadorned, with semicircular windows and a side entrance. Inside, there is a modern iconostasis.
One of the most important landmarks of Szczecinek’s Old Town is the town hall, located on Plac Wolności. The first building to house the Szczecinek town hall was constructed in the heart of the town. Its oldest depiction appeared in 1612 on the famous map by Lubinus.  A later depiction of the town hall, by Professor Karl Tümpl—a German expert on the history of Szczecinek—dates from 1792. Over time, it was expanded to include rooms for the city guard, a fire station, and the city scales. The building’s condition at the end of the 18th century, coupled with the significant costs of renovation, led the municipal authorities of the time to decide to construct a new building; funds for this purpose were obtained from the sale of the municipal estate in Godzimierz. The new town hall was erected in 1852 on the northern side of the market square, based on a design by building inspector Blaurock of Białogard. It was built on a rectangular plan in an eclectic style with a predominance of Neo-Romanesque elements. The building, set on massive stone foundations, has two stories and basements. On the ground floor on the west side, there were originally two rooms for merchants with an entrance from what is now 1 Maja Street, as well as rooms for the city guard. It features large, distinctive windows. The town hall’s roof is hipped and covered with red roof tiles. It currently serves as the seat of the municipal government. Adjacent to the main facade is a projection that transitions into a tower. On top of it stands a four-sided tower bearing the date of the town hall’s construction. The gable walls of the building and the tower feature a crenellated attic supported by an arcaded cornice. Polygonal turrets with lanterns are situated at the corners of the town hall. In 1936, a wing was added to the Neo-Romanesque building; on the first floor of this wing, there is an auditorium featuring fabulous stained-glass windows.
To the right of the hallway were the city treasury and a room used for court deposits. On the front side was an infirmary with an office and a kitchen, which also served as living quarters for the staff. On the first floor on the west side was the boardroom, featuring a large bronze bust of King Frederick William. Next to it were the mayor’s office and the police station. The mayor’s small apartment was also located there; in the tower, on the third and fourth floors, there were prison cells, and higher up were the rooms housing the clock mechanism, crafted by Hilli, a craftsman from Chojnice. The stone coat of arms of the city, carved by Aronsfeld of Białogard, was placed on the tower’s facade. The clock bells, funded by the townspeople in 1801 and cast by the Szczecinek bellmakers Meyer and Schumacher, were moved from the old town hall. In 1853, stables and a fire station were built in the town hall courtyard. In the 1930s, the town hall building was expanded on the north side with a modernist wing designed by Szczecinek architect Walter Liczkow. A meeting hall was located on the first floor of this section. Stained-glass windows, designed by Berlin artist Carl Buch, were installed in the windows; they depict a procession of representatives from various professions and were funded by the Szczecinek craft guilds and the owner of the local brewery, H. Riemer. The stained-glass windows in the western windows, featuring genre scenes related to nationalist ideology, were created by Max Lüder from Piła. Recently, the town hall’s facades underwent restoration using sandblasting, thanks to which it regained its former splendor.
At the beginning of the 20th century, two single-story houses (with two-story gables) located behind the town hall were demolished. They housed small shops. The town owned them, and the rental income went to the town treasury. Right next to the town hall and the monument to Emperor Wilhelm I, which stood on its axis, was the so-called meteorological column. The column, which had a square cross-section, was about 4 meters high. It was topped with a small roof featuring triangular projections. Just below it, in a glass display case, was a clock face, with other instruments placed beneath it. The column still stood in the 1920s.
In 2013, two renovated historic townhouses were connected to the town hall building, and a roof was installed over the courtyard, skillfully blending the modernity of the polyurethane structure with the historic form of the building.
While strolling through Szczecinek’s Old Town, you’re sure to notice the building of the former middle school. The structure was built in the eclectic style between 1879 and 1880. The building is located in the city center, northwest of the former town square (Plac Wolności), on the northern side of Szkolna Street 1. The second building of the former Princess Jadwiga Middle School is the Principals’ House—a Neo-Gothic structure built between 1872 and 1873. It is located in Szczecinek at the corner of Piotra Skargi Street and Księżnej Elżbiety Street—in the city center. Today, it is a two-story red-brick building with an attic and tall stepped gables featuring pinnacles and blind windows. Buttresses are visible at the corners. Initially, the building served educational and reading purposes (library, classrooms, and laboratories). An apartment for the principals was set up on the first floor, hence the name of the entire building. A second building was constructed next to it, housing the janitor’s quarters. In 1913, the secondary school moved to a new building in the city park. From then on, the Principals’ House also served as a dormitory for other teachers and female students from the school. After World War II, the Red Army held German prisoners of war in the building. Later, the Cooperative High School operated here. Since 1978, the building has housed a preschool.
Another historic landmark in this part of town is the granary (4 Gen. Józef Sowiński Square). The current granary was built around 1850. The lower sections of the walls, facing Niezdobna Street, are made of fieldstone; the upper sections—with the exception of the gable walls—are half-timbered with brick infill. While here, it is also worth noting the second granary (Junacka Street), the former county office building (3 Maja Street 2), and the Church of the Holy Spirit. The church was built in 1923 in the Neo-Romanesque style according to a design by engineer K. Kuhn, through the efforts of Catholics known as the Polish Church. On December 20, 1923, the church was consecrated by Cardinal Adolf Bertram of Wrocław. Until 1945, it was the only Catholic church in the city. From 1945 to 1973, it served as a rectory church; since 1973, it has once again been a parish church. In 2002, the church was renovated according to a design by Joanna Sapiecha-Kopicka and her husband. A Redemptorist monastery is located next to the church. The church is located at 23 Klasztorna Street. Greek Catholic services are also held there, celebrated by the pastor of the Wałcz parish.
Szczecinek City Park is situated along Lake Trzesiecko. Its most significant section was established between 1875 and 1903 on land previously flooded by the lake. The oldest part of the park is located near the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes. The park stretches the entire length of the town. It contains approximately 2,000 trees that are over 100 years old. Among the most valuable specimens are 150-year-old English oaks. In addition to common tree species, there are also numerous exotic trees: Japanese pagoda tree, blue spruce, white pine, Douglas fir, arborvitae, Caucasian fir, cypress, and Canadian hemlock. Inspired by the park’s charm, the German composer Richard Strauss wrote the opera “Daphne” (1934).
Speaking of nature, it’s worth noting that as late as the early 1980s, Wolności Square was literally awash with roses. Aside from the park, it was the most flower-filled place in Szczecinek. Today’s Wolności Square—formerly the Market Square—is limited to its historic boundaries, but as recently as 20 years ago, it stretched all the way to Niezdobna Street. At that time, the roundabout occupied a central position. A small parking lot was squeezed into the corner between City Hall and the “Poranek” milk bar. The remaining open space, apart from the sidewalks, was reserved for greenery, whose primary purpose was to quite effectively mask the industrial surroundings along Zamkowa Street. Hidden behind a tall hedge was a public restroom, and behind it lay the grounds of the Local Industry Plant, marked by a tall, brick factory chimney. The eastern edge of the square (clearly visible in a postcard from the 1970s) was occupied by greenery with rose beds, a taxi stand, and the ever-present green phone booth. In 1992, a massive apartment building was completed on this site, standing precisely within the historic boundaries of the former Market Square. Until 1945, the eastern frontage consisted of three two-story townhouses. Each had a flat roof and a richly decorated facade. The corner house on what is now 9 Maja Street was famous for the fact that King Frederick William III and Queen Louise spent the night within its walls during their journey from Königsberg on the night of December 19–20, 1809. According to legend, it was here that the queen lost her engagement ring. The middle townhouse was famous for housing the city’s oldest pharmacy on its ground floor. It was called the “Old Pharmacy.” In 1945, this entire block of buildings was burned down.

Przemysław's Tower
The tower was built in honor of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck between 1910 and 1911 on the site of a medieval settlement. Years later, it was renamed Przemysław Tower. Today, the tower serves as a public observation tower. At its summit is a terrace offering a beautiful view of Lake Trzesiecko and part of the city’s skyline, making it one of Szczecinek’s most interesting attractions. Below the tower is a pier with a water tram stop, an outdoor gym, and a designated bonfire area.

The Caretaker's House
The building, most likely constructed during the tenure of Principal Herman Lehmann, served as the school janitor’s residence. After the war, it likely began as a boarding facility for a teacher-training high school, later became a storage facility for the museum, and then, for many years, housed the Jaspa bar; since 2010, the “Pierogarnia” bar has operated at this location.

The Castle of Pomeranian Dukes
The Castle of Pomeranian Dukes, also known as the Zamek Conference Centre is a mixture of old and new. The castle was built in the mid-14th century, and has been thoroughly refurbished lately, due to which we can admire its beauty. It is located near the shore of Lake Trzesiecko, in the heart of a historic park, thanks to which we can have the opportunity for admiring the entire charm of the lake in Szczecinek. The castles offers guests’ conference rooms, accommodation, a restaurant, the Piano Bar, and an art gallery. It is a place of many cultural events and is certainly worth visiting.
The Castle of Pomeranian Dukes in Szczecinek is a mediaeval building, whose southern wing comes from the early 14th century and was erected upon the ruins of a former Slavonic settlement. The further reconstructions of the castle resulted in the loss of its original character. Currently, we can see fragments of bricks exposed during the last reconstruction. Also, the original ceiling joists in the conference rooms on the first floor are worth seeing. The present furnishings of the castle are modern, adapted for conferences and tourists who visit the gallery and the restaurant.
It should be mentioned that the Castle is located in a historic park and, despite the fact that it is no longer surrounded by a moat, as it used to be in the past, its location is really imposing and encourages guests to visit it. Apart from the Zamek Conference Centre located in the southern wing of the castle, the remaining wings house the seat of the Regional Management of the State Forests and a number of private entities operating in the northern wing. Near the yard, the Supra-Regional Centre of Ecological Education and Lake Revitalization is being created.
Unfortunately, the Castle is not adapted for the needs of the disabled and provides no entertainment for children.

The Directors' House
The building was constructed between 1872 and 1873 as the second building of the former Princess Jadwiga Gymnasium. It is located at the intersection of Księżnej Elżbiety Street and Piotra Skargi Street. The red-brick building is two stories high, with an attic and tall stepped gables. Initially, the building was used for teaching and reading—it housed a library, classrooms, and laboratories. The first floor was converted into an apartment for the principal, hence the building’s name. Across the street, right next door, a residence was built for the school janitor, colloquially known as the Janitor’s House—today it houses a pierogi restaurant bearing the same charming name. In 1913, the middle school moved to a new building in the city park. From then on, the Headmaster’s House also served as a boarding house for other teachers and the school’s female students.

The Nativity of the Blessed God-bearer Greek Catholic church
Biały Bór is one of the most active centres of Ukrainian culture. The architecturally unique Greek Catholic church erected according the design by Prof. J. Nowosielski attracts annually many experts and enthusiasts of art. It is a place of festivals and reviews of church music, attended by eminent and famous choirs.
The church in Biały Bór was built in the years 1992-97. In 1998, the “Murator” building industry journal recognized the church as a pearl of Polish modern church architecture. In 2006, during the “Ikony polskiej architektury” [The Icons of Polish Architecture] exhibition in the Contemporary Art Centre in Warsaw, it was recognized by the jury as one of the 20 most important buildings of the Third Republic of Poland.
The building of the church refers with its architecture to Old-Christian basilicas. It has small windows and a simple façade with little towers and a double semi-circular pediment. Inside the church, there is a three-dimensional plan of basilica, consisting of a lowered central part topped with a dome with an image of Christ Pantocrator and side parts separated with black columns. The iconostasis is minimalist, reduced to three icons presenting the Crucifixion and the images of Jesus and Maria.

The Regional Museum

Tourists' Hill
Góra Krajoznawców is the highest peak in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship—245 meters above sea level. It is located in the Bytów Lake District, in Szczecinek County, in the municipality of Biały Bór, between the villages of Błogowo, Bagniewko, Kosobudy, and Kołtki.

Town Hall
The town hall was built according to neo-Gothic style, with neo-Romanesque elements. The town hall of Szczecinek was constructed in 1852. The date of its construction and the coat of arms of the town are inscribed on a plate placed on the town hall tower. The plate is situated above the window on the first floor. The town hall has a small courtyard with a glass roof. In the conference room there are beautiful stained glass windows whose author was a Berlin-based artist Bosh. One of the walls of the town hall features a commemorative plaque in memory of the flood of 1888. It was placed at the exact height that was reached by the water at the time. You can enter the building during the opening time of the Municipal Office. Every day at noon an anthem is played from the clock tower.

Two-sector shelter
A combat bunker for two machine guns. In addition to two combat compartments arranged diagonally relative to each other to achieve a wider field of fire, the structure features a separate compartment for an infantry squad fighting outside the bunker and a spacious corridor. The structure is located on the marked “West Pomeranian Fortifications – ‘Forgotten Fortifications’” trail. It is a traditional crossing point for pedestrians, already marked on 19th-century maps.

Water Tram
The Szczecinek Water Tram is one of the city’s most important tourist attractions and was named Tourist Product of the Year in 2007. The “Księżna Jadwiga” sightseeing boat is one of the most charming vessels in the entire Drawsko Lake District. Thanks to its renovation, it can now accommodate 174 passengers. The ship is ideal for hosting special events and corporate functions (the standard program includes a one-hour cruise on the lake and a picnic on Mysia Island). It is also possible to charter the vessel for, among other things, a private cruise for the whole family combined with a special event.
The second Szczecinek Water Tram, the “Bayern,” is one of the few vessels of its kind in Poland. It is an integral part of the city’s public transportation system. It operates according to its own schedule, stopping at designated stops. It can carry 54 passengers. Its interior design is inspired by the vessels that sailed on Szczecinek Lake over 60 years ago. In 2007, the Polish Tourist Organization honored the Bayern with the prestigious “Tourist Product of the Year 2007” award. The boat cruise lasts about one hour. During this time, you can see Szczecinek from a slightly different perspective. Lovers of forest hikes can disembark on the other side of the lake and use the designated barbecue areas on Mysia Island or take a long walk along the hiking and biking trail.
