Zaborówiec

Zaborówiec lies between Brenno and Włoszakowice and is surrounded by forests. The village is located in Przemęt Landscape Park. Large fish-farming ponds lie on its southern edge. Green Cycling Route 3 passes through the village: a 17-kilometre circular route through Brenno, Zaborówiec, Dominice, Górsko and Miastko, returning to Brenno.

The landscape park includes a system of 24 bodies of water, most of which are interconnected. This means the park’s waterscape and paths offer different themes for planning your trip. Lakes lie within a radius of 1 to 15 km of Zaborówiec. Most have beaches, jetties and equipment rental facilities. The large fish-farming ponds on the southern edge of the village offer another distinct landscape feature.

The network of routes also offers several ways to explore the park: its extensive network of connected trails can be explored on foot, by bicycle, by kayak or on horseback. If you are particularly interested in a trip on the water, the park has the Konwaliowy Kayak Trail. It runs through interconnected lakes and makes it possible to travel through almost all of the park’s lakes in less than two days. These details describe different ways of exploring the area, so when planning your trip you can first decide whether to focus on routes on land or a kayak trip.

The history of the connection between the villages offers another point of reference: around 1584, a road linking Brenno and Włoszakowice was built through Zaborówiec. The cycling route and this historic road connection belong to different periods and contexts, but both reflect the village’s location between Brenno and Włoszakowice.

Zaborówiec was established around 1584 on land cleared from the forest. A brick shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the village dates from the late 19th century. During the interwar period, a border guard post was located in Zaborówiec. Today, the former post building houses the Retreat and Charity Centre of the Archdiocese of Poznań.

There are other cultural and religious points of interest nearby. The nearby village of Górsko has a bird sculpture museum, about 5 km away on foot or 7 km by car from Zaborówiec. The Church of St John the Baptist in Przemęt, the Church of St Adalbert in Kaszczor and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Refuge of Sinners in Wieleń are each part of the European Cistercian Route. When choosing a focus for your trip, you can therefore choose between nature and waterways, cycling, and cultural and historic sites.
