Trench – cycle path, historical traces and nature

Rów offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: a newly built cycle path from Góralice towards Rów, the archaeological settlement site “osada Rów” and a historic branch church in the village. Road routes also pass through Rów. In the municipality of Myślibórz, which includes Rów, there are also two nature reserves with distinctive landscape features. When looking for a holiday apartment in Rów, you can consider whether cycling, local history or nature will be the main focus of your stay.

Cycle path on the railway embankment

The newly built cycle path from Góralice towards Rów is open for use. It runs along the embankment of a disused railway line. The former railway route is therefore a defining feature of this cycling connection. The new section connects the existing BLUE-VELO route in Góralice with the West Pomeranian Lake District route. These two route names are useful points of reference for cyclists planning a journey along the connections. This links Rów to a specific section between the routes mentioned, rather than leaving it as just a place name on the map. If you are interested in an active holiday, you can consider this cycle path as one of the local points of interest when choosing where to stay.

Road routes through Rów

In addition to the cycle path, road connections also pass through the village, but serve a different purpose. National Road 26 runs through Rów, connecting the state border via Krajnik Dolny and Chojna to Myślibórz. The northern route “Droga 1000 Jezior”, intended for motor vehicles, also passes through Rów; it runs between Trzcińsko-Zdrój and Golenice. These two routes are therefore not the same as the cycle path: one is designated as a national road, the other is expressly intended for motor vehicles, while the new section is a cycling connection. If you would like to visit several places on one journey, the names and endpoints can help you understand where Rów lies along each route. When choosing a holiday apartment, it is worth first considering whether you plan to visit Rów mainly as part of a cycling trip or a motorised route.

Archaeological traces and a historic church

Rów is home to the archaeological settlement site “osada Rów”, site 14. This gives the village a clearly identified archaeological connection. Another historic attraction in the village is the branch church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (pw. Nawiedzenia Najświętszej Maryi Panny). These two places represent different ways of exploring history: one is an archaeological settlement site, the other a historic church. If you are interested in history, you can include both in your exploration of Rów. The site designation “14” belongs to the archaeological settlement site and helps identify it precisely. Along with the cycling connections, these features give a more varied picture of the village without tying its historical interest to a particular period.

Nature reserves in the municipality of Myślibórz

The nature features of the municipality of Myślibórz, which includes Rów, can also be clearly distinguished. The “Długogóry” nature reserve protects a terminal moraine landscape with numerous erratic boulders, Pomeranian beech forest and small bodies of water with aquatic and marsh vegetation. Together, the distinctive landforms, woodland and small bodies of water are among its protected features. The “Tchórzyno” nature reserve protects, for scientific and educational reasons, a peat bog with very rich and rare vegetation growing on lake chalk, as well as a silting-up lake with underwater meadows. The description therefore includes both the bog and the lake with its vegetation. The two reserves offer different nature experiences within the municipality: Długogóry is notable, among other things, for its terminal moraine landscape and beech forest, while Tchórzyno is associated with peat bog, lake chalk and underwater meadows. They are natural attractions of the municipality of Myślibórz and should be distinguished from the features of Rów itself when planning a holiday.

When choosing where to stay, you can therefore weigh up the cycle path and its connections between routes, the archaeological site and historic church, or the municipality’s natural areas. This lets you tailor your search for a holiday apartment in Rów to the interests you want to focus on during your trip.
