Bobolice: Globeflowers, Stone Circles and Organ Music

Bobolice offers several specific reasons to include nature and culture in your travel plans: globeflowers, a 24-kilometre trail to stone circles, the collections of the Regional Museum and summer organ concerts. These highlights do not all fall in the same season. So when choosing Bobolice for a stay, you can first consider which of these discoveries you would like to make the focus of your itinerary.

Globeflowers and a trail to the stone circles

Bobolice is home to the northernmost site of the globeflower. Its lemon- to golden-yellow blossoms open in May; the plant is legally protected. The globeflower meadows are also a starting point for an excursion: this is where the 24-kilometre “Szlak Pełnika Europejskiego” begins. From Bobolice, the route passes through Ubiedrze and Kępiste, near the Wrzosowiec forest nursery, before reaching the stone circles in the Bobolice Forest District.

The flowering season and the route are two distinct ways to plan your stay. The trail is clearly defined by its length and the places named along it; you should check current conditions locally. The stone circles are the route’s destination, while the globeflower meadows mark its starting point. So when planning, consider not only whether you want to set aside time for the trail, but also whether you would like to visit Bobolice in May to see the flowers.

Discover the Regional Museum

The Muzeum Regionalne w Bobolicach collects, preserves and displays archaeological and military exhibits. Its holdings also include tools and everyday objects from the pre-war period, as well as items brought by Polish settlers after the Second World War. Documents on the history of Bobolice, the Bobolice area and Pomerania complement the collections, along with coins, decorations, medals, works of folk and fine art, and natural history exhibits.

Some of the collections are displayed in permanent exhibitions across seven departments: archaeology, ethnography, gallery, the history of Bobolice, military collections, prison art and natural history. There are also several thematic areas. This layout offers different ways to explore the town and its surroundings, from archaeology and natural history to art, military history and everyday objects. As the exhibition layout may change, check which areas are currently on display before visiting.

Summer music events

Every summer, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Bobolice hosts two organ concerts as part of the Koszalin International Organ Festival. This gives the festival a distinct cultural focus alongside the nature and museum highlights. Globeflowers bloom in May, while the concerts are part of the summer programme, so these two reasons to visit fall in different seasons. If you would like to include a concert in your stay, check the dates for the relevant festival edition.

Getting here and choosing your stay

Bobolice lies between Szczecinek and Koszalin, at the junction of National Roads 11 and 25. National Road 11 runs from Poznań to Kołobrzeg; National Road 25 approaches from Bydgoszcz. These road links can help you plan your route. Check current road conditions before setting off.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Bobolice, it helps to decide in advance what you would like to focus on: do you want to set aside time for the 24-kilometre trail, explore the museum departments or plan around a summer date for the organ festival? The flowering season, concert programme and route offer different points of reference for choosing your travel dates and planning your stay.
