What shapes the landscape around Koronowo?
Grabina offers a different perspective on Koronowo from the buildings and exhibitions in town: from there, views stretch across the meandering Brda to the town below. The park is a remnant of the formerly extensive woodlands in the Brda Valley. Its area of 23.7 ha and its location southwest of the town give the nature theme a clear local connection.
If you would like to include nature and scenery in your trip planning, the views of the river and town are a specific consideration when choosing what to see. The park represents the landscape of the Brda Valley, while the churches and museum bring Koronowo’s architectural and regional history into focus.

Another marked trail is the Szlak Jeziora Koronowskiego, which passes through Koronowo near Tuszyny.

Which cultural sites can you include in your visit to Koronowo?
The former Cistercian monastery church is a three-aisled basilica with a transept and two rows of chapels. These features describe its architectural layout and make it a specific destination for travelers interested in church architecture. Its designation as a former monastery church is part of its historical identity.
The present-day appearance of the Gothic, three-aisled St. Andrew’s Church dates from 1599. The Izba Muzealna Ziemi Koronowskiej also has a permanent exhibition featuring exhibits on the history of the Koronowo region.

Together with the nature and trails on offer, this makes for a visit that is not limited to a single theme.
