Lubsko between water, trails and city history
Accommodation in Lubsko
Lubsko combines waterside activities at Zalew Karaś with walking trails, exhibitions and notable buildings. You can shape your stay around different interests: spending time by the water, walking through the park or discovering the city’s history. Which of these aspects you focus on can also influence your holiday apartment plans.

Water activities and fishing at Zalew Karaś
At Zalew Karaś, there is a kayak landing stage and seasonal rentals of pedal boats, kayaks, bicycles and go-karts. Seasonal rentals and fishing differ in their time frames: anglers can access the reservoir all year round. There is also a publicly accessible children’s playground there. This gives you several specific ways to enjoy a stay by the water, from fishing to seasonal rental activities.
If you are planning your trip around the lake, it is worth bearing in mind the seasonal limits on rentals. Fishing, by contrast, is described as an activity available all year round. These differences can help you decide what to focus on during your stay, without placing all activities in the same season.
Exhibitions on the history of Lubsko
The Regionalna Izba Pamięci presents thematic exhibitions. Its collection includes artefacts and memorabilia from different periods in Lubsko’s history. The exhibitions offer a way to explore the city’s past, while its historic buildings make its history visible in the architecture. During your stay, you can bring together different perspectives: objects and memorabilia in the Regionalna Izba Pamięci, as well as the town’s architectural traces.
Medieval buildings and distinctive details
Wieża Pachołków Miejskich is considered the oldest building in Lubsko to have retained its original form. The brick tower has a circular floor plan and seven storeys. It dates from the 15th century, when the city’s fortifications were strengthened by expanding the gate structures. Its age, design and historical function offer several features to look out for: you can note both its rounded shape and its connection to the city’s fortifications of the time.
The Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (pw. Nawiedzenia Najświętszej Maryi Panny) is the oldest sacred building in the city. The church houses an organ dating from 1918, made by Gustaw Heinze of Żary. Concerts featuring chamber and organ music were held there from 1999. If you would like to plan a concert visit, check the current schedule. Lubsko Castle already existed in the Middle Ages and features Gothic relics; today, it is used by a social welfare institution.
From a park walk to a longer route
A completed path runs through Miejski Park in Lubsko and along the Lubsza River, and is designated as a walking path. The green PTTK route is different: it is a combined hiking and cycling route that passes through Lubsko and is 73.5 kilometres long in total. A connecting route from Lubsko (PKS) leads to Jezioro Głębokie and a recreation centre in Grabówek. This gives you two distinct options to plan around: a walk through the park and a considerably longer route.
When choosing your holiday apartment in Lubsko, these interests can be a starting point: consider whether you would prefer to spend your days at Zalew Karaś, walking along the Lubsza, or exploring architecture and the city’s history. The routes and sights described here offer different ideas, without requiring you to focus your stay on just one side of the city.
