Sławica

• The 51.8-kilometer Duży Pierścień Rowerowy runs through Sławica.
• A blue hiking trail from Dziewicza Góra to Sława Wlkp. runs through the village and is 37.4 kilometers long.
• A hiking trail through the recreation areas passes by Jezioro Borowe.

Forests and lakes define Sławica’s location on the edge of “Puszcza Zielonka” Landscape Park. Nearby, Jezioro Gackie lies in the park’s buffer zone, and its use is strongly shaped by recreational activities. Recreation plots belonging to the village of Sławica line the eastern shore. The 29-hectare Jezioro Gackie can also be seen from a route behind the “Zacisze” allotment gardens in Sławica. The lake is therefore part of both the landscape and the village’s recreation areas.

Jezioro Borowe also plays a role in Sławica’s routes and activities. A hiking trail through the recreation areas passes by this lake. The two lakes should not be confused: Jezioro Gackie is nearby, while the routes and angling competitions mentioned are connected with Sławica and Jezioro Borowe.

For a cycling trip, the Duży Pierścień Rowerowy is a specific point of reference: the 51.8-kilometer route runs through Sławica and is part of the cycling network of Puszcza Zielonka and its surroundings. This network connects with the Poznań–Wągrowiec railway line, car parks, the Pierścień Rowerowy wokół Poznania, and the EuroVelo 2 and 9 long-distance cycling routes. This makes it easier for visiting cyclists to reach and leave the cycling routes of Puszcza Zielonka. If you are looking for accommodation in Sławica, you can take this connection into account when assessing whether the village fits your cycling plans.

There are several options to consider for walks. The blue trail from Dziewicza Góra to Sława Wlkp. is 37.4 kilometers long and runs through Sławica. Another hiking trail passes through the recreation areas, by holiday homes and the “Zacisze” allotment gardens, before reaching the built-up area of the village. This trail also passes by Jezioro Borowe. The routes described differ in how they connect places and landscapes: the blue trail has named starting and ending points, while the other connects recreation areas, gardens, and the village center.

An organized Nordic walking event followed a 7.5-kilometer route through the forests and recreation areas of Sławica on April 15. This is one example of an organized walking activity in the village, not an indication of a recurring event.

Sławica has a football pitch and a playground. Fishing is possible at Jezioro Borowe after obtaining the required permit; the lake belongs to the PZW. A permit is therefore a requirement for this activity. Historical fishing competitions also show that competitions were held there: one event saw juniors compete for the cup of Alojzy Pacholski, honorary chairman of the angling club. The following day, 21 adult anglers, including one woman, competed for the cup of Zbigniew Kujawa, chairman of the town council of Skoki municipality. These competitions are past events and do not provide information about current dates.
