If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Skrzaty, it is worth exploring the nature and outdoor activities available in the municipality of Drawno. The municipality is home to Drawieński National Park and the protected, ancient forest complex of Puszcza Drawska. There is also a marked cycle route, as well as horse-riding, hiking and canoeing routes. The routes vary in length, format and description—useful if you want to plan your stay around a particular focus.
Nature and routes in the municipality of Drawno
The marked circular cycle route forms a figure eight around the lakes near Drawno. The Drawieński National Park and its surroundings are said to have a total of 77 kilometres of hiking trails. These figures refer to different things: the total length of the hiking trails in the park and surrounding area is compared with a specific cycle loop.
Horse-riding routes with different layouts
The “Zatom” horse-riding route consists of two loops: one is 7.1 kilometres long and the other 7.4 kilometres. The difference in length is 300 metres. Another option is the 25-kilometre “Drawnik - Zatom” horse-riding route, which also has two loops. It starts and ends at the “Drawnik” water station, goes via Barnimie to Zatom, and joins the “Zatom” horse-riding route there. The routes therefore differ not only in length, but also in their layout and the places named along the way.
The “Drawno - Rościn” tourist horse-riding route runs through varied woodland in the northern part of the municipality of Drawno, following the Drawa River and crossing it twice. Here, the focus is on the course of the river and the two crossings. This offers a different way to navigate than the loops near Zatom or the route between Drawnik and Zatom.
Canoe routes and their conditions
A nearly 58-kilometre stretch of the Drawa River in the municipality of Drawno and Drawieński National Park is opened to canoeists on two dates. These dates are crucial for planning: check in advance which opening dates could work for your trip.
The two named shorter stretches differ in both length and difficulty rating. “Drawno - biwak „Barnimie“” is 8.7 kilometres long and rated difficult. Suitable launch points are the landing stage of Drawieński National Park or the PTTK water station near the road bridge over the channel connecting Lake Grażyna and Lake Dubie. The “Prostynia - Drawno” stretch is 13 kilometres long and rated easy. These ratings apply to each of the named stretches, not to all canoe routes in the region.
Before setting out on a specific trip, check the current trail and water conditions and the opening dates for the Drawa River route.
