Przygodzice: Fishponds, Culture and Nature
Accommodation in Przygodzice
Przygodzice brings landscape and history together in a special way: the town lies on the Barycz River, its fishponds stretch as far as Antonin, and its historic heritage ranges from a cist grave dating to pre-Christian times to buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries. This gives you a mix of nature, cultural discoveries and outdoor activities to consider when planning your trip. Which of these aspects interests you most may also influence your choice of a holiday apartment or holiday home in Przygodzice.

Fishponds on the Barycz
The fishponds of Przygodzice are located in the “Dolina Baryczy” Natura 2000 area and extend from Przygodzice to Antonin. This makes the waterscape and protected area distinctive features of a stay here. The connection between the town, the ponds and the Natura 2000 area provides a concrete starting point if you would like to discover Przygodzice primarily for its landscape.
The Barycz River provides another geographical reference point: Przygodzice lies on this river. Together with the fishponds extending as far as Antonin, this means the surrounding area is not limited to a single town centre. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore first consider whether the pond landscape, cultural history or a stay with a range of activities matters most to you. The available information can help you find your bearings on the trails, without implying any specific route between the individual sights.
Historic sites and buildings
The Chata Regionalna is housed in a gatekeeper’s lodge dating from 1813 and features historical exhibitions. The building and the exhibitions bring together two aspects: the gatekeeper’s lodge itself as a historic building, and the historical topics presented there. If you are interested in local history, the Chata offers a specific place to explore this aspect.
Another distinctive building is the Neo-Baroque Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which dates from 1925. A cist grave dating from the 4th to 2nd centuries BC points to a much earlier period. These heritage sites belong to different historical eras and can be considered as separate interests when planning your trip: church architecture, historical exhibitions or an archaeological site.
Walking and other trails
The black hiking trail starts near Przygodzice railway station. This starting point may be useful for finding your bearings if you would like to combine your stay with a hike. No specific route length or walking time is given; when choosing your accommodation, what matters is which activities you want to include in your trip.
The tourist information centre in Przygodzice provides free guides and maps for walking, cycling, canoeing and horse-riding routes. The materials cover different ways of getting around and can help you explore which activity best suits your trip. If you prefer walking or cycling, you can consult the relevant materials; canoeing and horse-riding routes are also covered by the guides and maps provided.
Getting around town
The tourist information centre offers free parking for cars and bicycles. This is useful to know if you are arriving by car or bicycle, or plan to use one during your stay. There is also a white stork’s nest with an internet camera in the town centre, at the municipal office. This means you can also include observing the nest via the online feed in your travel plans.
If Przygodzice suits your travel plans, you can focus your search for a holiday apartment or holiday home on the town.
