Kłos: Cycling Routes and History
Accommodation in Kłos
Kłos can be discovered from two different perspectives: cycling routes pass through the village, and its history dates back to 1614. This gives you concrete points to consider when planning your holiday: you can choose a cycling route based on its stated length and course, or explore the history of the manor.
A manor with several names
In 1614, a manor was established in Kłos, known as Klusshof, “Stary Kłos” or “Wielki Kłos”. It was founded with the consent of the municipal authorities of the city of Koszalin and the community; the manor belonged to the city. Kłos was also first mentioned in 1614. These details provide a specific starting point for the village’s history and link it to a manor that was known by several names.
During the Seven Years’ War, Kłos and its manor were devastated; resettlement took place in 1764. The founding, devastation and resettlement are therefore among the key historical events associated with Kłos. If you’re interested in historical context as well as outdoor activities, this sequence offers a distinct perspective on the village. The manor’s history is a separate subject from the cycling routes that today pass through Kłos, as described in the route guides.
Two cycling routes, two distances
The yellow “Trakt Rybogryfa” cycling route is 23.7 km long and was created for family cycling trips. It runs from Góra Chełmska via Kłos, Węgorzewo and Policko to Dzierżęcino. A straight and scenic route, it passes along Lake Policko and by an Indian village. For families who would like to include a cycling trip in their holiday, the stated distance is a useful point of comparison. The places listed also show the order of the route, but do not indicate how long it takes to walk or cycle.
The blue “Śladami końskich podków” cycling route is considerably longer, at 57.4 km. It runs through Skwierzynka, Osieki, Rzepkowo, Iwięcino, Skibno, Kędzierzyn, Kłos, Maszkowo and Węgorzewo. It is described as a route with numerous natural attractions, historic buildings, monuments and equestrian centres. You can therefore choose between two cycling routes of different lengths: the yellow route was specifically created for family cycling trips, while the blue route is longer and is described as having natural and cultural attractions as well as equestrian centres.
A landmark in Kłos
On the yellow “Trakt Rybogryfa”, cyclists heading towards Sianów turn right after 4.3 km. Along the way, a wayside cross in Kłos is on the left, as it is on the blue hiking trail. This precise detail can help you recognise the section when planning your route. The distance refers to the turning point; it is not the total length of the yellow cycling route, which is 23.7 km.
When choosing a holiday base, you can consider whether you’re more interested in the yellow cycling route, which was specifically created for family trips, or the longer blue route with its described natural and cultural attractions. If you also appreciate historical connections to a place, Kłos offers both the manor and its recorded name variants, as well as the dates 1614 and 1764 as specific points of reference. This lets you plan your trip around your interests without combining cycling and local history into a single experience.
