Bathing Area at Lake Unimskie
Lake Unimskie, also known as Moszczenica, is a few hundred metres from the village of Unimie and about 4 kilometres from Łobez. A designated bathing area with a distinctive pier is located on its southern shore. This makes a visit to the water an activity in its own right, alongside the town’s cultural attractions. Check the current condition of the bathing area locally before visiting.
Church, Stud Farm and Cultural Heritage
The late Gothic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Łobez was built in the 15th century and reconstructed in 1949. The state stud farm in Łobez was founded in 1876. These sites offer different historical periods to explore when learning about the area’s history. The Szlak Dziedzictwa Techniki i Architektury (Technical and Architectural Heritage Trail) offers a distinct focus: this circular route showcases local architectural and technical heritage from the 19th and 20th centuries. In Łobez, it starts by the Rega River near the forestry administration office and ends at the railway station. The route links architectural and technological history; its start and end points also provide practical reference points for planning the walk.
Short Routes and a Longer Trail in the Wider Labes Destination
Two Nordic walking routes start at Polana Jahna in Łobez. Route 1 is 4.5 kilometres long and takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes; Route 2 is 2.8 kilometres long and takes about 45 minutes. Based on the stated distances and times, Route 2 is the shorter option: it is 1.7 kilometres shorter and takes approximately 25 minutes less.
The blue-marked Szlak Mocy i Tradycji (Trail of Power and Tradition) in the wider Labes destination is considerably longer. The 43-kilometre route starts and ends in the square in front of Łobez railway station. It passes through the Wysoczyzna Łobeska and Równina Nowogardzka uplands, as well as the municipalities of Łobez and Resko. Along the way, it crosses fields, mixed forests, hills, valleys and wetlands, crosses the Rega several times and repeatedly runs close to the river. Compared with the two Nordic walking routes, its length alone makes clear that it calls for a very different time commitment when planning.
Connections and More Culture in the Wider Labes Destination
The Szczecin–Gdańsk railway line and the Gorzów Wielkopolski–Kołobrzeg road connection run through the Gmina Łobez in the wider Labes destination. If you are taking these connections into account when planning your journey, check current timetables and road conditions.
Another architectural highlight in the wider Labes destination is the church in Bonin. Luis von Borcke built it in 1845. Its tower has a Baroque cupola from the 18th century; the furnishings include a 17th-century Mannerist altar and an 18th-century Baroque pulpit. The different dates of construction and furnishings give the church its own historical character and add another cultural dimension to the attractions around Łobez.
