Czerwonak offers several clearly distinct ways to explore the area: a foot and cycle bridge over the Warta, a quest about the history of Gdyńska Street, and a 35.0-kilometre red hiking trail. These topics range from local stories to a longer route. For planning your trip, it helps to distinguish them by subject, mode of travel and scale.
Warta Bridge: Connection and Dimensions
The foot and cycle bridge over the Warta connects the area around Przystań AKWEN Marina Czerwonak with the Umultowo district of Poznań. It is 154 metres long and four metres wide. More than 500 metres of new foot and cycle infrastructure were built along with the bridge, including access routes and paths. The figures refer to different scales: 154 metres measures the structure; the more than 500 metres covers the new infrastructure, including its access routes and paths.
Stories Along Gdyńska Street
The quest “Czerwonak - historia pewnej ulicy” follows Gdyńska Street and is dedicated to the village of Czerwonak. It draws attention to stories about the surrounding buildings, places and people. In this way, it combines a clearly defined street route with the wider area; its subject is not just the street itself. If you are interested in local history, the quest offers a different approach from a hike, which is defined primarily by its length and waypoints.
The Red Hiking Trail Along the Warta Valley
The red hiking trail is 35.0 kilometres long and runs from Czerwonak via Dziewicza Góra, Okoniec and Zielonka to Rejowiec and Skoki. In the village, it follows Zielona, Poprzeczna and Źródlana streets along the upper edge of the Warta Valley. The named places show the course of the full route; the three street names locate its section in Czerwonak. At 35.0 kilometres, the hiking trail is on a different scale from the 154-metre-long bridge structure.
Another Route in the Czerwonak Municipality
The educational route “Odkrywcy Dziewiczej Góry” was created on the slopes of Dziewicza Góra in the Czerwonak municipality for children and young people. It is used as an outdoor orienteering game. This puts a clearly specified target group and a playful format at the heart of the route. Its focus differs from that of the red hiking trail, which is defined by its length and the sequence of places along the way.
The Warta as a Kayaking Route
The kayaking trip “Spływ kajakowy Wartą”, held on 20 September 2025, covered ten kilometres from Poznań, starting at the level of the cathedral, to AKWEN Marina Czerwonak, where it ended. The foot and cycle bridge connects the marina area with Umultowo; by contrast, the kayaking trip followed a water route to the marina. Both details offer different perspectives on the Warta and should be understood in terms of the mode of travel: the ten kilometres were part of that kayaking trip, while the 35.0 kilometres refers to the red hiking trail.
