Discover Skrzaty: Nature and Outdoor Activities
Accommodation in Skrzaty
When planning a stay in Skrzaty, it is worth taking a look at the natural attractions and outdoor activities in the Drawno municipality. The municipality is home to Drawieński National Park and the protected, ancient forest complex of Puszcza Drawska. The national park and the ancient forest are two distinctive natural landmarks. Together with the hiking, cycling, horse riding and canoeing routes, they offer different focal points for planning a trip. Those choosing nature as their main theme can explore the park and forest as separate points of interest; those planning around specific activities can instead compare route types and lengths.
Nature and hiking
The hiking trails in Drawieński National Park and its surroundings total 77 kilometres. This is the length of a trail network, not a single hike. For your day’s plans, the route you choose is what matters; the total first gives you an idea of the network in and around the park, not of any particular hike.
Canoe routes and how they differ
A nearly 58-kilometre stretch of the Drawa in the Drawno municipality and Drawieński National Park is opened for canoeing on two dates. Since access is limited to these two dates, check the current dates before your trip.
The shorter canoe routes differ in length and difficulty rating. The “Drawno – biwak Barnimie” stretch is 8.7 kilometres long and rated difficult; “Prostynia – Drawno” measures 13 kilometres and is rated easy. The comparison shows that shorter does not mean easier here. Suitable access points for the 8.7-kilometre stretch include the landing stage of Drawieński National Park or the PTTK water station near the road bridge over the connection between Lake Grażyna and Lake Dubie. Before paddling, it is advisable to check current water conditions and access to the launch point.
Cycling and horse-riding trails: loops and connections
A marked figure-eight cycling route runs around the lakes near Drawno in the Drawno municipality. Its figure-eight shape distinguishes it from a single loop and makes the circular route a useful point of reference. The “Zatom” horse-riding trail consists of two loops, 7.1 and 7.4 kilometres long; their lengths are similar.
The “Drawnik – Zatom” horse-riding trail is considerably longer, at 25 kilometres in total. It starts and ends at the “Drawnik” water station, goes via Barnimie to Zatom, and connects there with the “Zatom” horse-riding trail. The “Drawno – Rościn” tourist horse-riding trail runs through varied woodland in the northern part of the municipality, following the Drawa and crossing the river twice. Conditions on cycling and horse-riding trails can change; check their current state before setting out.
When looking for a holiday apartment in Skrzaty, your planned activity can help structure your trip: for the nearly 58-kilometre canoe route, the two dates when it is open are key, while the loop lengths and connection in Zatom are useful points of reference for the horse-riding trails.
