Słubice: Cycling Routes, History and Recreation
Accommodation in Słubice
Słubice offers several ways to plan your trip: you can focus on cycling routes and walks, explore historic sites or get to know the city’s sports facilities. Options range from a cycling route along the Oder Valley to a Jewish cemetery with a long history. When choosing a holiday apartment, it may therefore be important to consider which of these aspects of the town interest you most during your stay.
Cycle Tours of Different Lengths
The two official cycling routes start at the bridge connecting Słubice with Frankfurt an der Oder. This gives you a specific starting point for planning a bike ride. At the same time, the connection shows that cycling need not be limited to Słubice itself: the bridge links the town with Frankfurt an der Oder.
The Słubicka Pętla Rowerowa is approximately 45 kilometres long. Another option is the Słubice–Urad cycling route: it is approximately 22 kilometres long and runs from Słubice in the direction of the municipality of Cybinka, along the Oder Valley. If you enjoy spending your days cycling, you can take these approximate distances into account when choosing a route. The figures give you a clear idea of the distances without specifying a travel time. Whether you include a longer loop or the shorter route in your plans depends on what kind of day out cycling you have in mind.
Historical Traces in Słubice
The Jewish cemetery on Transportowa Street is one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Europe. Its first written mention dates from 2 July 1399. The exact day and year give the site a specific historical connection. Anyone interested in the history of Słubice will find here a different way to discover the town than through its sports facilities or cycling routes.
Ostmark Stadium is also part of the town’s history. It opened on 27 May 1927 and has been a protected historic monument since 2014. The site thus brings together the story of its opening and its present-day protected status. The stadium is also a sports venue with six running tracks and facilities for football, golf, tennis and beach volleyball. There is also an ice rink there in winter. When planning your visit, you can choose between a visit with a historical focus and exploring the wide range of sports on offer.
Sports, Walking Paths and Views
For skateboard enthusiasts, there is a skatepark by the bus station, which also has a modular pump track. It is clearly different from the running tracks and sports facilities at Ostmark Stadium: the skatepark and pump track are the main features here, while the stadium has running tracks and facilities for various sports. If you are planning a trip with your family, different interests can play a role in choosing activities, without requiring you to limit your programme to just one type of activity.
Park Rozrywki i Rekreacji offers extensive walking paths and viewing terraces with beautiful views. Alongside the cycling routes, this gives you another way to include walks and viewpoints in your plans for your stay. The observation tower in Słubice is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 am to 6 pm. These hours are a useful guide if you would like to include the tower in your day’s plans.
