Wiejce: the Warta, Puszcza Notecka and cycling routes
Accommodation in Wiejce
Wiejce can be explored through its location on the right bank of the Warta, on the edge of Puszcza Notecka, and through several cycling routes. The history of a manor house converted into a neo-Baroque palace, as well as an annual festival, also shape the themes you can consider when planning your trip.

What defines Wiejce’s location?
The Warta and Puszcza Notecka offer two distinct geographical reference points: Wiejce lies on the right bank of the river and at the same time on the edge of the forest. For travellers choosing a destination based on an interest in river landscapes, this offers a different point of connection from that for those who primarily want to explore the forests.
Mushroom gathering is also one of the reasons people visit the forests around Wiejce each year.
