Lebus can be explored through an unusual contrast: nearly 280 bird species find a habitat in the „Ujście Warty“ National Park, while the Międzyrzecki Rejon Umocniony opens up a world of underground military history. There are also museums, a route to three wooden churches, and a regional wine and honey trail. Rather than a single attraction, the destination is shaped by a range of different themes. Which ones you focus on depends on whether you want to explore nature, history, architecture or culinary traditions.
Birdlife in the „Ujście Warty“ National Park
The „Ujście Warty“ National Park lies in the western part of the Lubusz Voivodeship. Its floodplain and the northern polders provide a habitat for nearly 280 bird species. The destination’s natural character is thus defined by two specifically named landscape areas and remarkable species diversity. For nature lovers, this offers a clear focus distinct from the region’s cultural and historical themes.
Underground military history and museums
The Międzyrzecki Rejon Umocniony, also known as the “Dragon’s Teeth,” is Poland’s largest underground fortification system. It comprises more than 500 structures and around 100 kilometres of underground passageways. These two figures convey its scale from different angles: one counts the structures, while the other describes the length of the passageways.
The Lubuskie Muzeum Wojskowe in DrzonĂłw has its own focus on military history. It is the only historical military museum in the Middle Oder region and one of the largest museums of its kind in Poland. The Muzeum Ziemi Lubuskiej in Zielona GĂłra offers a broader perspective. Founded in 1908, it collects items relating to the history, culture and art of the Lebus region. This places a clearly defined military history theme alongside a wider regional collection.
Wooden churches and a wine route
The Szlak Kościołów Drewnianych Regionu Kozła is an approximately 23-kilometre tourist route through Chlastawa, Klępsk and Kosieczyn in Zielona Góra County. Its focus is three wooden churches built between the 14th and 16th centuries. For travellers interested in historic architecture, the route combines specific place names with a clearly defined architectural theme.
The Lubuski Szlak Wina i Miodu comprises 65 stops spread across the region, including 47 vineyards, apiaries and beekeeping businesses, agritourism establishments, museums, and the Lubuskie Centrum Winiarstwa. A standard visit along the route includes a tour of a winery, information about viticulture and winemaking, and a wine tasting. The wine route thus offers a different way to explore the region than the church trail: learning about winemaking and tasting wine are part of the visit described here.
Regional orientation
The Lubusz Voivodeship lies at the intersection of natural north–south and east–west corridors. Thanks to its road network, it is considered well connected with the rest of Poland and Europe. This regional overview can help you plan your trip; for specific journeys, it is advisable to check current road conditions.
