Discover Resko
Accommodation in Resko
Resko brings together religious art, town history and themes connected with the Rega. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Resko, an educational trail about the town’s buildings and people, and an annual race each offer a different focus. You can plan your trip according to whether you are mainly interested in culture and history or would also like to include an active outing in your plans.
Art and history in Resko
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Resko is an important cultural landmark. It was built around 1400 in the late Gothic style. The sanctuary also houses a 17th-century altar and an 18th-century painting of Our Lady of Resko. The building and its furnishings therefore date from different periods. If you are interested in religious art, you can focus both on the sanctuary’s late Gothic origins and on the later artworks. The different dates help you appreciate these elements as distinct parts of the town’s history.
The local educational trail “Resko, której nie ma” offers another way to explore the past. Its eight stops feature forgotten buildings and remarkable people from the town of Resko. The trail also presents the region’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage and history. Its subject matter thus goes beyond individual buildings: people and intangible traditions are explicitly included too. For planning your trip, this offers a different historical perspective from the sanctuary and its furnishings.
Resko’s history also includes its fortifications on the Rega. They stood on Wzgórze Borków, an artificially raised hill. This distinctive feature adds a specific historical location to the themes of art and cultural heritage. If you would like to explore different sides of Resko’s history, you can choose from several focuses: the sanctuary and its artworks, the trail covering buildings and people, and the history of the fortifications.
The Rega, outdoor activities and an annual event
The Rega is also connected with a project to create canoe landing sites. Two equipped canoe landing sites were built on the river in Resko. The project also included paved areas, car parks and footpaths. This adds a connection to the river and outdoor activities alongside the cultural and historical themes. If you also take these kinds of activities into account when choosing a destination, you can consider this focus alongside your historical interests.
One specific date in the events calendar is the Bieg o Strzałę Widanta. The event takes place every year on 1 May. It includes children’s and youth races as well as a 10 km main race; it also features a 5 km Nordic walking event. The different competitions make the race a distinct reason to visit for anyone interested in running or walking events. Families may be interested to know that children’s and youth races are part of the event. If you would like to visit Resko around this recurring event, you can use 1 May as a guide when choosing your travel dates.
