The routes vary in length, course and scenery. Do Piekła starts in Tleń and follows the Wda. At 3.3 kilometres, it is shorter than Na perłowym szlaku: this 5.2-kilometre route also starts in Tleń, goes around Lake Mukrz and offers numerous viewpoints. Comparing them can help you choose between a shorter riverside loop and a longer circuit of the lake with viewpoints.

The Piętaszków Trail also heads towards Lake Mukrz. It starts at a trail junction on the road from Tleń to the water station, initially follows a forest path to the lake, and then continues along the shore. Another option is Ścieżynka Zagłoby: the trail leads from Tleń via Lake Piaseczno, Stara Rzeka and Radańska to Osie. The routes described range from a short loop to a trail passing several named places.

For a walk, you can choose between the Prusina and the Wda. If you are interested in Lake Mukrz, you can visit it on both the Piętaszków Trail and the Na perłowym szlaku loop. The two routes offer different experiences: the Piętaszków Trail combines a forest path with the lakeshore, while the loop goes around the lake and offers viewpoints.

Kayakers carry their kayaks between the Żur Reservoir and Lake Mukrz. For cyclists, the Tropami II Rzeczypospolitej loop runs through Osie, Tleń, Wierzchy, Łążek and Starą Rzekę. On foot, on the water or by bike, there are different ways to include these named landscapes and places in your trip plans.

A square is home to four-metre-high wooden sculptures depicting a mushroom picker, a forestry worker, an angler and a chub. There is also a memorial stone and a plaque about Prof. Alfons Hoffmann. The railway station complex is among the preserved elements of the historic town layout and is considered a heritage site of great value.

Another landmark lies next to the railway bridge: a boulder partly covered with lichen and designated a natural monument. It measures 12.3 metres in circumference, 4.8 metres long, 4.9 metres wide and 1.4 metres high. The sculptures and memorial site reflect Tleń’s cultural side, while the boulder offers a specific point of interest for nature and geology enthusiasts.

When looking for a hotel in Tleń, first consider what you want your trip to focus on. River trails, the loop around Lake Mukrz, a route passing several named places, or the town’s cultural landmarks each cater to different interests.
