Discover Czarne Błoto
Accommodation in Czarne Błoto
Czarne Błoto has a special literary connection: the poet Kazimierz Wierzyński made the place part of his life and work. Other features include an Evangelical cemetery from the early 20th century, a designated landscape protection area, and information about cycling and hiking routes.

In the footsteps of Kazimierz Wierzyński
The poet’s connection with Czarne Błoto can be traced through several specific places and events. His family lived here during the interwar period, and Wierzyński stayed with his parents, Andrzej and Felicja, several times. Both died in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. The poem “Czarne Błoto” recalls his connection with the place and was published in his final poetry collection, “Sen mara”. His visits to his parents and the poem link Czarne Błoto to Wierzyński’s life and writing. If you’re travelling with children, you can use this personal connection as an opportunity to explore how a place features in a poet’s life and writing.
Cemetery and landscape
Another feature of cultural and historical interest is the Evangelical cemetery from the early 20th century. As of 2025, the Evangelical cemetery was no longer in use. A PTTK hiking route led to the cemetery, so it is also associated with hiking. The cemetery offers a different way to connect with Czarne Błoto than the poem does: here, the focus is on a specific historical place, while the poem centres on literary memory.
The landscape is also important for getting your bearings, though the claim is precisely defined: the areas in Czarne Błoto covered by the local development plan are located within the “Strefy Krawędziowej Kotliny Toruńskiej” Landscape Protection Area. If nature and landscape are important to you when searching for a holiday apartment, you can take this protected-area connection into account as part of the character of the place.
Distinguishing cycling from hiking
The 57.1-kilometre “Toruń–Bydgoszcz” cycling route passes through Czarne Błoto. In May 2003, this cycling and hiking route was marked on the ground. This makes the cycling route a separate point of interest for planning your trip, independent of the literary and historical themes.
A 12-kilometre guided PTTK hiking excursion was also planned. It was to run from Górsk via Czarne Błoto, Cegielnik and Błotka to Toruń. The planned hiking excursion was shorter than the cycling route.
