Kłodawa: Lake, Townscape and Neo-Gothic Church

Kłodawa combines its location on the Kłodawka River with the edge of the Puszcza Gorzowska forest and a lake nearby. At Lake Kłodawskie, water-based activities meet a townscape featuring historic buildings. This gives you a range of options when planning your holiday: a shoreline path, a route with fish models and reminders of the town’s architectural history.

Lake Kłodawskie and the Kłodawska Rybka

Lake Kłodawskie near Kłodawa covers 24.35 hectares. A path about 1.7 km long runs along the northern and eastern shores. Its approximate length and route along these two sides of the lake give you a clear framework for planning a stay by the water. If you are interested in water and exercise, you can make this path a dedicated part of your visit to Kłodawa.

Another distinctive feature is the “Kłodawska Rybka” information and promotional trail. It was created near a public beach on Lake Kłodawskie as part of the first package of measures. Six realistic freshwater fish models stand along the trail. Each is about 2 metres long and depicts a pike, carp, bream, roach, perch or catfish. The models give families a specific theme to explore: children and adults can look at and compare the fish species together. Kłodawa also has a fully equipped bathing beach.

A townscape with a distinctive shape

Kłodawa retains an oval settlement layout. This is a striking feature of the town’s design and adds a cultural and historical perspective to its natural and waterside attractions. The town is also home to a Neo-Gothic red-brick church. Built between 1858 and 1860, it has a wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling. The building brings together a clearly identifiable period, brick architecture and a distinctive feature of its interior.

Another historic building is a half-timbered manor house dating from around 1830. It is now the seat of the forestry district. The church and manor house represent different architectural features and uses; together with the oval settlement layout, they offer several ways to explore Kłodawa through its built history. If you are looking for cultural experiences rather than making the lake the focus of your holiday, this part of the town offers a different perspective on Kłodawa.

Choose the right focus for your holiday

Getting there may also factor into your plans: Kłodawa can be reached via a convenient and safe cycle path. This is a practical option for anyone considering travelling by bike. In town, the lake with its shoreline path and bathing beach, the fish models, and the townscape with its church and manor house offer a variety of things to enjoy. Deciding which of these appeals to you most can help you work out whether Kłodawa fits your holiday plans and what kind of holiday apartment to look for.
