Wreschen

The Warta, Poland’s third-largest river, flows through the southern part of Września County. There are numerous hiking and cycling trails there, as well as a canoe trail through the county. Cultural points of interest include the Regional Museum in Pyzdry, the castle complex in Grzybowo and the Piast Trail, a cultural-tourism driving route through the county.

There are several different starting points for cycling trips. A planned main cycling route is intended to circle the entire county and is listed as 176.2 kilometers long. Since it is described as planned, this figure should not be taken to mean that the route has already been completed. Within the county, the Nadwarciański Cycling Route passes through Orzechowo, Czeszewo, Szczodrzejewo, Spławie, Tarnowa, Pyzdry, Białobrzeg and Wrąbczynek. A section of the Transwielkopolska Cycling Route passes through the county between Miłosław, Chlebowo and Pogorzelica.

There is also a dedicated option for walking: two sections of the Żerkowsko-Czeszewska “Ósemka” hiking trail run through the southern areas. This lets you choose between cycling routes and designated hiking-trail sections without treating the different routes as one combined trail. If the length of a potential cycling trip is your main consideration when planning, the planned main cycling route has a specific total distance; the other routes mentioned can be distinguished by their respective towns or sections.

The Warta, along the county’s southern edge, is particularly suited to canoe tourism, and canoe trips take place on the river. A canoe trail runs through the county from Dłusk to the mouth of the Lutynia. This lets you plan your trip around a river experience, while cycling and hiking trails offer other ways to explore the region. The Czeszewski Las nature reserve is another natural destination for visitors. No information is provided here about its size, facilities or specific trails; for now, it is enough to consider it a nature destination in its own right alongside the river and route options.

The Muzeum Regionalne Ziemi Pyzdrskiej in Pyzdry is one of two regional museums in Września County. Another historical highlight is Gród w Grzybowie: the castle complex is among the largest sites built during the formation of the early Piast state. If you would rather explore cultural history along a driving route, you can include the Piast Trail in your travel plans; it passes through the county.

In Kołaczkowo, there is a classicist palace dating from the early 19th century, with a portico featuring eight columns. For families interested in archaeology, GAMA – Grzybowska Akademia Małego Archeologa is aimed at children: this educational project introduces them, in a playful way, to the work of archaeologists, archaeological finds and their history. Marzanna is also held in Grzybowo as a recurring outdoor event, always on March 21. Its program includes educational and historical games and activities. These offerings focus on different themes: architecture, early history, archaeology and a fixed event date.

For information about individual places, you can also visit the pages for Węgierki, Zasutowo, Lipie, Wreschen, Miłosław, Bierzglinek, Nekla and Grzybowo.
