An oak estimated to be more than 700 years old gives Kadyny a tangible historical landmark. Nature and history, watersports lessons and horse riding offer different perspectives on the area.

The pedunculate oak and local history

The pedunculate oak “Dąb Bażyńskiego” is estimated to be more than 700 years old; its trunk circumference at chest height is 10 m. Its name honors Jan Bażyński, the first owner of the manor estate in Kadyny. The tree thus connects a tangible natural measurement with a named figure from local history. Its age, circumference and namesake make the oak interesting both as a natural feature and as part of local history.

Kadyński Las nature and history trail

The “Kadyński Las” nature and history trail runs along the slope above Kadyny. A viewpoint on the trail looks out over the Ceglanego Potoku valley, a brickworks, the Vistula Lagoon and the Vistula Spit. The view takes in the valley and brickworks as well as the lagoon and spit, bringing different landscape features together in one place.

The Birkner family mausoleum is one of the trail’s stops. A guided walk with a forester along the nature and history trail is available by prior arrangement at 552308531, exclusively for organized groups from educational institutions. This restriction is important for planning: the guided tour described is intended for a clearly defined group and requires advance arrangements.

Carriages and sledges in the historic barn

A historic barn in Kadyny houses a collection of more than 50 antique carriages and sledges from different periods and parts of Europe. Ask at reception whether the collection is open to visitors. Here, the focus is on a collection of historic means of transport, while the oak is associated with Jan Bażyński. The different periods and regions of origin give the collection a broad temporal and geographical scope.

Watersports and horse riding

Lessons in windsurfing, kitesurfing and wakeboarding are offered at Srebrna Riwiera beach in Kadyny. If you plan to try one of these sports, check the provider’s current lessons and availability before your visit.

At Kadyny Folwark, both beginners and experienced riders can ride horses. An indoor riding arena makes it possible to ride regardless of the weather. Horse riding requires advance arrangements; check current availability with the operator.

Choose Kadyny to suit your interests

These attractions offer different points of interest: the nature and history trail combines views with a historic stop, while the barn houses a collection featuring pieces from different periods and parts of Europe. Watersports lessons and horse riding, by contrast, are specific activities. If you’re looking for a hotel in Kadyny, this distinction can help you weigh nature and history against sporting activities and choose your destination to suit your travel plans.
